Re: [ccp4bb] protein structure for high schoolers

Hi, I think that spdbv (deepview) and the tutorial has some of what you need. The program is very simple to implement on any Mac or PC, although it's not the nicest program to use in the long run. It'll take you 5 minutes to install and test the features you'd like from the tutorial.   Cheers,                Boaz     Boaz Shaanan, Ph.D.                                         Dept. of Life Sciences                                      Ben-Gurion University of the Negev                          Beer-Sheva 84105                                            Israel                                                                                                                  E-mail: bshaa...@bgu.ac.il Phone: 972-8-647-2220  Skype: boaz.shaanan                  Fax:   972-8-647-2992 or 972-8-646-1710                          From: CCP4 bulletin board [CCP4BB@JISCMAIL.AC.UK] on behalf of James Whittle [whit...@crystal.harvard.edu] Sent: Friday, January 20, 2012 11:41 PM To: CCP4BB@JISCMAIL.AC.UK Subject: [ccp4bb] protein structure for high schoolers Hi- I am trying to help my former chemistry teacher set up a demonstration of protein structure for her class. I'd like to include electron density maps, and maybe show an enzyme active site. Are there suggestions from the BB on the easiest way to do this? Would pymol be the program of choice, or is there a simpler program that could show electron density? Has anyone already created such a demonstration they could and have advice on it? James
