Please advise Joan Slonczewski of any corrections.


Jmol plug-in is needed to view these tutorials.
(Note: Older chime-based tutorials are archived here.)


These tutorials were created by students in collaboration with faculty at Kenyon. Jmol was used to illustrate structural and chemical features of macromolecules. The pdb files were downloaded from the Protein Data Bank of the Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics.   For each tutorial, the authors listed maintain copyright.

Optional stereo viewing instructions here.  We recommend the Pokescope viewer. Request help here.
