Teaching 2003/2004 |
Update: 15.08.2017 |
The course is managed online via WebCT. Rasmol is a free molecular viewer available for PC, Mac and UNIX platforms. Protein Explorer has been developed based on RasMol and is more powerful. The software is free and runs on PC, Mac and Linux platforms. Download of Chime may be required. The PubMed Database of scientific literature: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/PubMed/. |
