<p>Dear Proteopedians,</p>
<p>I want you to be aware of the newly-revitalized JSmol version of
my tutorial on <b>hemoglobin molecular structure</b>:</p>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://hemoglobin.molviz.org">http://hemoglobin.molviz.org</a><br>
or simply <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://molviz.org">http://molviz.org</a> and click on hemoglobin.<br>
<br>
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
<i>Details </i>blocks that provide additional details the lecturer
may wish to be aware of before lecturing.<br>
<br>
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<br>

(click on <i>Show More</i>).<br>
<br>
Each chapter has somewhat <b>open-ended questions</b> (in green
text) to challenge understanding. <b>Answers</b> are available
online. There is also a 17-question <b>immediate feedback
multiple-choice quiz</b>.<br>
<p>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:</p>

<p>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.</p>
There are, of course, a variety of hemoglobin-related pages in
Proteopedia. See<br>
