===FirstGlance in Jmol===


The main tool we will use is '''FirstGlance in Jmol''': [http://firstglance.jmol.org FirstGlance.Jmol.Org]. (To google it later, use the single word (no space) '''firstglance'''.)

:FirstGlance does NOT use '''Java''' unless you tell it to. Larger proteins will be slow to load and rotate, and to change the view, unless you use Java. Use ''Safari (or Firefox) for Java''  on Macs because Chrome does not support Java on Macs. On Windows, Internet Explorer is good for Java. In your Java-compatible browser, display a molecule in FirstGlance, and then click on the ''Preferences'' tab in FirstGlance. Java is installed and working in the BCRC. Simply give it permission when asked (several times).
