FirstGlance in Jmol is the easiest-to-use tool for visualizing, understanding, and sharing protein molecular structure. It offers guided exploration with extensive explanations and examples, yet provides ample power for advanced users. With a few mouse clicks, any molecular scene can be saved as a slide presentation-ready animation (GIF file) -- see examples below, and tinyurl.com/movingmolecules.

Among many conveniences offered by FirstGlance, it is easy to see the levels of evolutionary conservation determined by ConSurf for amino acids of interest. Below is an overview with some illustrated examples.

IMPORTANT (December, 2021): For the steps below, use the unreleased beta-test version FirstGlance 3.8 Beta2 which has many improvements for ConSurf results beyond the publicly available version 3.7.
