These records are essential to the future renewal of our grants to continue software development. Thank you for your cooperation. This self-guided tutorial, created for beginning students, shows how to use Chime molecular models and gives students a few glimpses into the potential power and beauty of molecular modeling. Do not establish a network connection. This tutorial explores the unique structure of the small protein insulin.
Emphasis is placed on the disulfide bonds and alpha helices within the molecule.
To begin the tutorial, start up Netscape Navigator. Do not establish a network connection. We are having problems with stability under the MacOS because of bugs in Netscape's Java virtual machine on that platform. Mac users are welcome to try the software, but you will most likely experience crashes. We are working on a solution to the problem.
