Would you like to teach your students the easiest-to-use, state-of-the-art interactive 3D molecular visualization tools -- tools that they can expect to use for YEARS TO COME? Would you like to use such tools yourself in your research? Would you like to eliminate MDL Chime? Would you like resources that require no installation, and run on Mac OSX Safari or Windows Internet Explorer/Firefox equally well? Then please check out our new "Top Five 3D Molecular Visualization Technologies ... for the rest of us!" at http://MolviZ.Org/top5.htm 1. Tutorials in Jmol (DNA, Hemoglobin, Collagen, Water, and more available now; most also available in Spanish). 2. FirstGlance in Jmol for exploring any molecule. 3. ConSurf for seeing conserved/functional patches of amino acids in Jmol. 4. Make publication-quality figures (PyMol-generated), and Powerpoint-ready animations, from an easy yet versatile fill-out-form (no PyMol commands to remember) using Polyview-3D. Great for student reports, as well as your own talks and publications! 5. (Coming soon: Jmol Tutorial-Authoring Template [JTAT].) Links to all of the above, more detailed descriptions, and sample Polyview-3D animations at http://MolviZ.Org/top5.htm Or simply go to http://MolviZ.Org and click on "MolviZ Top 5". -Eric /* - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Eric Martz, Professor Emeritus, Dept Microbiology U Mass, Amherst -- http://www.umass.edu/molvis/martz Biochem 3D Education Resources http://MolviZ.org See 3D Molecules, Install Nothing! - http://firstglance.jmol.org Protein Explorer - 3D Visualization: http://proteinexplorer.org Workshops: http://workshops.proteinexplorer.org World Index of Molecular Visualization Resources: http://molvisindex.org ConSurf - Find Conserved Patches in Proteins: http://consurf.tau.ac.il Atlas of Macromolecules: http://atlas.proteinexplorer.org PDB Lite Macromolecule Finder: http://pdblite.org Molecular Visualization EMail List (molvis-list): http://bioinformatics.org/mailman/listinfo/molvis-list - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - */
