The following bioinformatics resources use FirstGlance in Jmol
to display specific molecules. Most simply link
to http://firstglance.jmol.org, thereby avoiding the need to install
FirstGlance on their own servers. Those designated
Mirror Sites
have installed FirstGlance
on their own servers.
- Membrane
Protein Data Bank from Ohio State University (Columbus, Ohio, USA).
Powerful search capabilities for integral, peripheral, and anchored membrane
proteins, with stastics including total, unrelated, and families.
- Nature Structural and Molecular
Biology, an
international monthly journal with editorial headquarters in New York (NY, USA),
reporting newly solved macromolecular structures.
- OCA,
a browser-database for protein structure/function
from Bioinformatics and Biological
Computing of the
Weizmann Institute of Science
(Rehovot, Israel).
OCA provides
a powerful search interface to the Protein Data Bank, as well as
PDB Lite for beginners.
OCA provides Mirror Sites for FirstGlance in Jmol
on several continents.
- Orientations of Proteins
in Membranes (OPM) database from the University of Michigan
(Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA).
OPM provides visualization of hydrophobic thicknesses,
and orientations of membrane
proteins with respect to the hydrocarbon core of the lipid bilayer,
by adding planes of pseudo-atoms to the PDB file, representing
the surfaces of the lipid bilayer.
- Probable
Quaternary Structure (PQS) server
of the
European Bioinformatics Institute (Hinxton, UK).
This unique server provides coordinates for specific oligomers,
or monomers (when multiple copies in the crystallographic asymmetric unit
result from crystal contacts).

PQS is offered within FirstGlance,
