I am really sorry that you didn't win. There's just no way I would have gotten fourth if you hadn't answered all of my questions and explained what the pigeon was actually going on in this event. Considering that I got like 27th last year, I was really surprised that I placed. Your explanation clear...

I am confused about how you determine which ends the blue cap and red cap go on. Can somebody explain this to me?

So we were given a really nice magnet cysteine side chain from our regional on site. Are we allowed to use that for our state prebuild?

So I brought up the mutation of CYS 285 to soinc.org. They said that the mutation is only there because it keeps the crystallization in a specific shape and to use CYS 285 our models. 03/01/2012 - 16:40 The 285 side chain says it is Alanine. However, it is according to the 1i3o pdb file found on the...

For those of you experienced with Jmol: I've read that Cys-285 is part of the active site for Caspase-3, the prebuild model, so I want to include its sidechain in the prebuild. However, when I try to select "285" in Jmol, it comes up with Ala, not Cys. Why don't the numbers match up? Has ...

If you look at the scoring guide last year you get points for representing which parts are beta pleated sheets and alpha helixes. You get no additional points for color coding them if you already have them folded in the correct way. The only advantage is that if you color code them then you don't h...

Yes the commands done in the console worked very nice thx! Unfortunately it looks like almost all the side chains are polar. And when you try to select the ones that are nonpolar you get 0, so I don't think it would be a very good creative addition. Any Thoughts? What command are you using? If you ...

Well, my Toober is a dark pink/magenta color, so if I tried doing red for helices and yellow for sheets it wouldn't work very well. I guess I could do other colors like blue and green, but those in my mind don't fit well. I also need more room on my index card, since i have barely enough room for t...

Does anybody know how to view regions of polar and nonpolar on the protein? I couldn't figure out how to do this in Jmol and I think it would be a good creative addition. Display polar Display not polar Or Hide not polar Hide polar Or Restrict polar Restrict not polar The first two sets are functio...

I was wondering... on the Jmol of 2wbu, what are the red sphere things? Are they hydrogen molecules or something? I looked up the structure and found the alpha helixes and sidechains, but I just can't figure out what the little spheres are. :?: Yeah usually the floating balls represent certain mole...
