BCH222 :: Structure of Biological Macromolecules
(KineMage currently not supported) If you are not already somewhat familiar with polypeptide geometry, please explore the kinemage on the right which shows the same information in 3D. Left-drag to move the viewpoint around, and turn on & off the angle and atom labels and the H atoms with buttons on the right-hand button panel. Turn on the "spheres", to get a feeling for the bulk of the atoms and their bonded interpenetration. With spheres off, enable bond rotations under the Tools menu by choosing Specialty -> Suite rotation, which gives you a rotation widget with a choice of possible angles to rotate. Try PHI and PSI, then CHI1 and CHI2. [Don't use the "end" angles, which are a temporary artifact of the current process of updating KiNG to work with these lessons.] Left-button drag around the circle edge changes the angle quickly, right-button drag changes more slowly, and the + and - boxes very slowly.
