Chime and Rasmol Links

Rasmol is a program for viewing macromolecular structures coded in the Brookhaven Protein Data Bank (PDB) format. Chime 1.0 is a plugin for Netscape (Versions > 3.0) which uses many of the Rasmol commands to allow viewing of PDB files (and many other formats) in the browser.

Chime 2.0 is a beta version with many enhancements, which currently requires Netscape 4.04 to run.

Chime, Rasmol and Netscape are all Freeware for academic users.

All PDB files used in Chime can be downloaded using the File option under the Chime menu. These can then be explored in greater detail using Rasmol.
