James,
I would like to recommend the free ICM-Browser
http://www.molsoft.com/icm_browser.html . It is widely used for teaching
structural biology and it is easy to make fun and interesting fully
interactive 3D slides and animations of protein structures.
The students can view the fully interactive 3D files in the browser,
PowerPoint or on the web using ActiveICM
http://www.molsoft.com/activeicm.html The files can also be viewed on
the *iPad**/iPhone* using iMolview http://www.molsoft.com/iMolview.html
We will be happy to send you some examples if you would like them.
Thanks,
Andy

Hi-
I am trying to help my former chemistry teacher set up a demonstration
of protein structure for her class. I'd like to include electron
density maps, and maybe show an enzyme active site. Are there
suggestions from the BB on the easiest way to do this? Would pymol be
the program of choice, or is there a simpler program that could show
electron density? Has anyone already created such a demonstration they
could and have advice on it?
James
