A useful way to see atomic details of a small part of a large macromolecular model is to center the moiety of interest, and then cut away the front and back portions of the molecule. This is called ''slabbing'' since one is, in effect, looking at a slab cut | A useful way to see atomic details of a small part of a large macromolecular model is to center the moiety of interest, and then cut away the front and back portions of the molecule. This is called ''slabbing'' since one is, in effect, looking at a slab cut out of the larger model. Slabbing can be done using [[FirstGlance in Jmol]]: In the ''Views'' tab, use ''Center Atom'', and then click the ''Slab'' button. Further instructions will appear automatically. | ||
