Apologies for anyone receiving this from other mail lists. I believe it represents a seminal moment for opensource software (Chime never was such).

Dear Colleagues,

Eric Martz and I are happy to announce version 2 of the BioMolecular Explorer 3D web site, (designed to supplement a secondary school biology curriculum) which uses Jmol in place of Chime to present macromolecular structures and tutorials. This simplifies the process of using the resources in teaching by eliminating the browser restrictions and software download and installation steps associated with Chime. To visit the site, go to

<http://www.umass.edu/molvis/bme3d>http://www.umass.edu/molvis/bme3d

The original 11 molecules selected for the site are now presented in FirstGlance in Jmol. The site has been expanded to include links to some general categories, such as proteins, carbohydrates and lipids, as presented by the Biomodel web site of Angel Herraez (who also kindly converted the DNA tutorial to Jmol). A few tutorials that use Chime and have not yet been adapted for Jmol can still be accessed at version 1 of the site (linked from the BME3D Welcome page).

Coming soon - the updated BME3D web site on CD.

Best wishes for the new year, Frieda
