CHEM 1110 - Chapter 22 Info

These are some extra notes on Chapter 22 material.

Table of Reactions

Rasmol program

A full user manual (external link)

some static pictures (.pdf file - you could print these and bring them to class to make notes on, for example)

Some quick commands (those I used in class):
"select <argument>"
<argument> can be an atom name (full name, not chemical symbol), a base (A, C, T, G, U),  an amino acid (3-letter abbreviation), a group (like hem = heme group), or "all" to cancel selection.

To select more than one thing, e.g. all C-G pairs, separate arguments with a comma ("select C, G")
"show sequence"
shows linear sequence of bases or amino acids (primary structure)
changing view
use DISPLAY menu for changing between ball-and-stick, wireframe, cartoons, etc.  If you have atoms or groups selected, the changes will only affect those atoms (for example, I like to leave it on wireframe, select the group(s) I'm interested in, then select "Ball and Stick" to make the selected groups stand out)
