Viewing the 3-Dimensional Structure

The Cn3D home page includes a link in the blue sidebar to a Cn3D tutorial, which shows you how to use the many features of the program. Online help documentation is also included with the program.

View the 3-dimensional structure for 1TUP and practice using some of the Cn3D features that allow you to: spin the structure using your mouse use the control+left mouse button combination to zoom in and out of the structure use the shift+left mouse button combination to move the structure across the viewing window use the Style menu to render the structure in different ways (e.g., worms, space fill, ball and stick, ...) use the Style menu to color the structure in different ways (e.g., secondary structure, domain, ...) use the Style/Edit Global Style to label every 20th amino acids try other features of interest as time allows
