Exploring MHC

Before we begin this little soiree, you'll need Chime from MDLI. Once you have that, then you may load the image.

Brief Instructions:

The molecule should already be rotating. To move it in any of the three axes, left click on the image and drag the mouse. The image will track with the mouse movement as well as continuing to rotate. Now right click on the image. If you are fortunate enought to be working on a Mac, that right click is a "control-click". A pop-up menu should appear. You'll see various things such as "display", "color", "options", and so forth. To stop the pesky rotation just drag down to "rotation and select it. Explore the options. Some of them are pretty fun.

The source for the MHC structure displayed on these pages is PBD ID: 1LDP
