The Online Macromolecular Museum Exhibits
Updated January, 2007

 

** Important Changes **: The exhibits at the OMM are in the process of being converted from Chime to Jmol. Chime is dying because it no longer runs on the MacOSX architecture. Jmol is served from the OMM server, so no client-side software other than a Java-enabled, 21st century web browser is needed to view OMM exhibits. If your computer does not have a Java runtime environment installed, get it here: Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition

Jmol Exhibits:

  • For MacOSX users, the Safari Browser ( >1.2.4 ) works well. The exhibits do not work with IE. We are working on versions that will work with Firefox and Netscape.
  • For PC users, Firefox, Netscape ( >7.x ), and IE work well**. We recommend Firefox.

** Note: IE7 now supported, but sometimes an error like "java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException:" will appear. Reloading the page, sometimes multiple times, can get around this.

The conversion to Jmol will take some time, but we hope to have the conversions of many existing exhibits and the addition of many new Jmol exhibits finished by mid 2007. ** In the exhibits section, below, Jmol exhibits are indicated in red **.

Please note: Each exhibit will open in a new window - it is recommended that you close one exhibit before opening the next. The atomic coordinate (*.pdb) files have been gnu-zipped to speed downloads, but some files are still large... "Good things come to those who wait"  --- Anon

Exhibits, grouped into "halls" according to function, are found below...
