Molecular Display
This allows you to change the visual display of the moleucle.
Spacefilling: changes the radius of the atoms
Ball & Stick: atomic spheres connected by tubes
Tube: bonds are tubes
Wireframe: thin lines connect atoms
Proteins: backbone trace, 2° structures as ribbons or rockets
highlight water or ligands in proteins
3D display using anaglyphic glasses (colored) or crossed-eyed
Axes: display the cartesian coordinate system.
VDW: displays the Van der Waals surface for a molecule.
Measure
Measure a distance, angle or torsion angle by clicking on 2, 3 or 4 atoms respectively. Distance is in Angstrom, angles in degrees.
Spin, Translate & Zoom
Rotate about the cartesian X, Y or Z axis, or pick any two atoms to define a rotating axis, Translate the molecule in the X - Y plane, or Zoom in or out
Spin about an Axis
Translate
Zoom
Center & Label
Center the display on a selected atom. Unchecking the box recenters the molecule.
Label atoms by atom type.
Molecular Dipole & Hydrogen Bonding
Display the molecular dipole moment or hydrogen bonds.
