BCMB 8010 Advanced Biochemistry and Molecular Biology

PLEASE NOTE: The lecture notes below are available as HTML versions of the Powerpoint slides or as a direct download of the Powerpoint file. Note, the Powerpoint files can be large and may take some time to download. The lecture notes are also available as PDF files as 2- or 3-figures per page for direct printing. Animations that are used in each of the lectures were generated with Pymol and are available as Quicktime files or as Pymol scripts. Quicktime movies can be viewed as stand-alone movies using the free QUICKTIME VIEWER available for Mac or Windows computers. Pymol scripts can be used to directly view the animations by downloading the script to your hard drive and opening the file within Pymol (download PYMOL here) by using the pull-down menu option of File-> Run... Navigate to the script file name and select Open. The script should launch, download the PDB file, and start the animation script. PLEASE NOTE: the computer must have an active internet connection to download the PDB file. The first time that the script is launched the animation may take extra time because the PDB file must download before the animation can start.
