A molecular scene consists of the rendering or display for each part of the molecular model (e.g. Jmol has an extensive and powerful command language that specifies molecular scenes. The first journal to do this was Nature Structural and Molecular Biology in February, 2006, and others, including Nature, soon followed - see Adoptions of FirstGlance in Jmol. Typically, a link labeled 3D View appears in the online journal articles and contents. įirstGlance in Jmol is used by several journals for interactive 3D display and exploration of newly published macromolecular structures. In 2009, Protein Science began using this technology. Hanson (principal author of Jmol after 2005) Jmol – a paradigm shift in crystallographic visualization, as well as in a talk given by him in early 2011 at the ICSTI Workshop. Outstanding examples are in the 2010 article by Robert M. In 2008, the International Union of Crystallography developed a toolkit to facilitate the authoring of interactive figures in Jmol in their journals.

Authoring of these interactive 3D figures remains time consuming, and only about a dozen articles have been so illustrated as of early 2010 (listed at Reichsman's site MoleculesInMotion.Com). Probably the first instance was in November, 2006, in ACS Chemical Biology, and subsequently in June, 2007, in Biochemical Journal with interactive 3D figures in Jmol implemented by Frieda Reichsman.

This involves manual implementation of each figure, a laborious task requiring a person knowledgeable in Jmol programming. Following the lead set by Protein Science with Kinemages in the early 1990's, figures in scientific journal articles have been implemented in Jmol so they can be rotated, etc. See examples at Interactive 3D Complements. Authors of scientific journal publications, working in collaboration with a dedicated team in Proteopedia, develop rich interactive pages that complement their journal paper, making its structural aspects more comprehensible to a wider audience.

6 Distinguishing if Jmol is running in HTML5/Javascript-mode or Java-mode.

Java, particularly in web browsers, may be a security risk, and some simple precautions are recommended.įor more information and downloads: See Also. Should you wish to try the Java applet, see Using Java for Rendering Structures. The Java applet Jmol performs much faster, but this enhanced performance is not needed unless the model contains >~30,000 atoms, or multiple larger models (see NMR).

#JMOL COLOR SCHEME INSTALL#

This avoids the need for Protepedia users to install and enable Java. JSmol has proven quite satisfactory for interactive displays of most macromolecules in Proteopedia, and is the default. An overview of other Jmol resources is at Jmol/Index. Jmol is also available as a stand-alone application. Jmol is a cross-platform program written in Java, but able to run in an HTML5/Javascript-mode called ' JSmol' that does not require Java.

#JMOL COLOR SCHEME SOFTWARE#

It is the primary visualization software used in Proteopedia. Jmol is a free, open-source molecular visualization software package. Jump to: navigation, search proteopedia link proteopedia link
