[Molvis-list] Running old Jmol tutorials (unsigned applets)

[Eric Martz]

Hi, Malcolm,

Well it won't hurt for the entire list to be aware of this.

In the initial control panel ("molecule information", tab labeled 
with the PDB code), below the section on Asymmetric Unit, there is a 
link Biological Unit. Yes, viewing it is only a few clicks away.

There is also a link for getting the Biological Unit under the Resources tab.

It is always best to check the Biological Unit for every structure in 
order to be aware of how it may differ from the Asymmetric Unit 
published by crystallographers. Those terms are defined/explained in 
the help within FirstGlance in Jmol, and further via links within 
FirstGlance in Jmol.

In the case of 3b8e, the biological unit is half of the asymmetric 
unit, namely it is a 3-chain trimer (instead of two copies, six chains).

Regards, Eric
