More on the use of Chime; O. Casher, G. Chandramohan, M. Hargreaves, C. Leach, P. Murray-Rust, R. Sayle, H. S. Rzepa and B. J. Whitaker, "Hyperactive Molecules and the World-Wide-Web Information System", J. Chem. Soc., Perkin Trans 2, 1995, 7. describe a simple way of sending rendering instructions to e.g. a RasMol browser, called CSML (chemical structure markup language). It appears this is fully implemented in the Chime plug in. For example, a molecule in-lined as; <embed src="http://www.ch.ic.ac.uk/hyperactive/1prc.pdb" align=abscenter width=250 height=250 spiny=360 startspin=true display3D=ribbons PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.ch.ic.ac.uk/cgi-bin/plugin.cgi" name="1prc"></embed> can be marked up using <embed src="1prc_1.csml" width=12 height=12 target="1prc" button=push> where the csml looks like e.g. all grey backbone on 607 red spacefill on 608 grey spacefill on his217 blue spacefill on atomno=6519 blue spacefill on HIS:217 If you go to our "molecule of the month for March" on http://www.ch.ic.ac.uk/motm/1prc.html you can see all this in action. It appears stable and works well on Windows-95. For a system as big as this, one really needs to use non-scrolling frames. A version implementing this is on its way!! Dr Henry Rzepa, Dept.
