The image above shows the structure of a nucleosome.

SEE BELOW IF THERE IS NO STRUCTURE SHOWING!

You can rotate the structure directly with the mouse. The view can be changed using a menu that can be brought up by mousing down on the "MDL" in the lower right corner of the image or by mousing down and holding anywhere on the image.

Use the buttons to the right to show special views of the structure (all of which can be manipulated).

If you can't see the structure, you don't have the Chime plug-in

**Examination of 3-D structures requires the the Chime plug-in which is available from MDL Information Systems, Inc. All campus computer labs have this plug-in installed (if you find some without the plug-in please contact Dr. Gasser so he can get it fixed.) **

 

To download Chime for your own Macintosh or Windows computer click here. Chime works best with Netscape Navigator 3.01.

 

Images are from Molecules R Us , a site provided by the National Institutes of Health, where you can look up protein or nucleic acid structures by name for display using Chime.
