Introduction to VMD (step 3: Our first protein)

Back to step 2    Forward to step 4

Now load the new molecule "1crn.pdb" and chose "Trace" as drawing method:

You see the trace of the Calpha Carbon atoms of each residue in the protein. The two helices of the protein are even better visable using the "Ribbons" representation:
