Note: naming the isosurfaces when you create them allows for displaying and manipulating multiple isosurfaces.

Rotate 360 degrees, then turn one of these isosurfaces off, then the other off, then display both.

JMOL WORKBOOK EXERCISE 11 FULL
Versions 11.2 and up are recommended for full implementation of features below. To begin, open your Jmol Applet (Jmol.jar).One approach for doing this is outlined below, followed by a table with sample Jmol buttons and commands used to manipulate surface views. One can, however, use the Jmol applet to calculate a surface for a large molecule, save the isosurface calulations in a *.jvxl file ( JVoxel format), and quickly load the pre-calculated surface view (*.jvxl) using Jmol commands in a web page. It is therefore not prudent to do this in web pages devoted to macromolecules, unless one is interested in displaying the surface of only a small subset of residues or atoms. Molecular surfaces can be calculated by Jmol, but for large molecules this can be quite CPU intensive and time consuming to do on the fly. you may need to do this several times, depending on the script.įor a more comprehensive treatment, see the Jmol If you get an unresponsive script, please choose continue. This is especially true now that we are using JSmol and HTML5 instead of the java-based Jmol. Note: surfaces require a lot of memory and are slow to load. This helps with funding opportunities for the OMM and helps ensure continued development of this resource. And please drop an email to with a link to your page/s.
