[Proteopedia] Hemoglobin Molecular Structure Tutorial

[Eric Martz]

Dear Proteopedians,

I want you to be aware of the newly-revitalized JSmol version of my 
tutorial on *hemoglobin molecular structure*:

http://hemoglobin.molviz.org
or simply http://molviz.org and click on hemoglobin.

The tutorial is suitable for projection to accompany a lecture, showing 
a brief explanation and color keys for each view, and/or for use by 
students. When preparing for a lecture, the lecturer can open /Details 
/blocks that provide additional details the lecturer may wish to be 
aware of before lecturing.

The tutorial has 7 chapters that include morph animations of the 
conformational changes induced by oxygen binding, and sickle hemoglobin. 
Chapters are summarized briefly at
https://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=1377059
(click on /Show More/).

Each chapter has somewhat *open-ended questions* (in green text) to 
challenge understanding. *Answers* are available online. There is also a 
17-question *immediate feedback multiple-choice quiz*.

Apologies that this is slightly off topic since this tutorial is not 
implemented in Proteopedia, but in a tutorial "shell" that I developed 
largely before Proteopedia was mature. However, the immediate-feedback 
practice quiz is in Proteopedia:

As a historical note, most of the contents of this tutorial go back to a 
RasMol movie script that I released in 1996. A Chime version was 
released with in 1997, and a Jmol Java applet version with Frieda 
Reichsman in 2007.

There are, of course, a variety of hemoglobin-related pages in 
Proteopedia. See
