Assignment I

  1. Creat a peptide larger than 3 residues
  2. Display and anotate the backbone atoms
  3. Highlight or identify the peptide bond
  4. Identify one or more peptide planes and display its dimensions as shown below: 
  5. Repeat the step 4 for a real structure obtained from PDB.
  6. Submit the final pictures and NOT the PDB to the dropbox.

Aditional Notes:

To diaplay only residues 2 and 3 of a protein in molmol:
  1. Make everything invisible
  2. selectatom 'res.num=2 or res.num=3'
  3. selectres 'res.num = 2 or res.num = 3'
  4. selectbond 'res.num = 2 or res.num = 3'
  5. click ball/stick
To make ball/stick look like above:
  1. click Atom Rad., set radius to 0.1
  2. click Bond Rad., set radius to 0.02
To display distances:
  1. select the two atoms involved in the distance.
  2. type AddDist
Alternative notation in selectin atoms:
To make a figure:
