Haemoglobin molecule in Jmol
« on: May 04, 2006, 02:29:43 AM »
I want to put a PDB file of heaemoglobin in a webpage using Jmol. Now it seems to be easy enough to find haemoglobin files but the problem is I want it to show in ribbon form which I don't seem to be able to do. I don't have much experience with this so maybe someone can help me out.

Have you tried using Rasmol, I know it can display ribbon format.
Most Common Suggestions I Make on the Forums.
1. Start by writing a balanced chemical equation.
2. Don't confuse thermodynamic stability with chemical reactivity.
3. Forum Supports LaTex

Oh, cool yes that definitely displayed the ribbon format thanks :)

Now one more problem, if you or anyone else knows; I want to display the ribbon format except for the heme group which I am hoping to display as ball and stick.

In the command line try typing select ligand then selecting ball and stick in the display menu.

Can firefox support PDB?

I have been having some problem with firefox, but I am a bit of a novice at this type of thing. I have switched to explorer for this Jmol stuff. Someone else may have a better idea.
