#991Structural Biology 3D Visualization using Pymol
 
Description:
PyMOL is a next-generation high-quality molecular visualization and manipulation tool, similar to legacy applications like Rasmol. Its intuitive interface ensures that users new to PyMOL will be exploring and sharing molecular structures with ease. In addition, PyMOL offers advanced tools for building and editing structures and a built-in renderer for creating publication-quality images and movies.

This Structural Biology course is presented by the NIAID OCICB Bioinformatics and Computational Biosciences Branch (BCBB). For questions about the course or for collaboration on Structural Biology problems, email BCBB at ScienceApps@niaid.nih.gov
 
Objectives:
Students will learn how to:
  • Visualize their structure using combinations of ribbon and stick representations
  • Map electrostatic potential onto molecular surfaces
  • Explore molecular surfaces for potential binding sites
  • Create mutations and observe their potential structural implications
  • Compare electron density maps to their model structures
  • Create 3D alignments of proteins
  • Create complicated movies
Who should attend:
NIH staff with an interest in visualizing macromolecular structure should attend. The course is designed with new users in mind, but even seasoned users will learn something from the course.
 
Instructor(s):
Dr. Darrell Hurt, Ph.D., NIAID
