(Demonstrate First. Glance in Jmol)

First. Glance in Jmol ≠ Jmol! • Jmol (jmol. org) is a large international open-source project active since before 2000. – Lead developer since 2006 is Robert Hanson (St. Olaf College, Northfield MN). • Jmol is no easier to use than Py. MOL, etc. • First. Glance in Jmol (firstglance. jmol. org) is a user interface that makes Jmol’s power accessible to a wide range of users. – First available in 2006, it is developed by Eric Martz, following his experience with Protein Explorer. It is used in 3 D View links in Nature and other journals and resources.
