Learners please note: some of the previous tutorials in this series, were created on Windows OS.
|
Let's proceed to create and edit components in CellDesigner. | |
Press Ctrl+Alt+T keys | Open the terminal by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T keys simultaneously. |
Type ./runCellDesigner4.3 >> press Enter. | Now type ./runCellDesigner4.3 and press Enter. |
Click on File >>Open | Let us open the file Create and Edit that we had created earlier.
|
Click on 'Create and Edit'. | A dialog box named Open appears on the screen.
|
Our file Create_and_Edit.xml is now open in the draw area. | |
Select the compartment >> click on “Component” >> scroll down and select “Change to OVAL”
|
Select the compartment.
|
Select the compartment >> click on “Component” >> scroll down and point to Change color & shape | To change the color or thickness, go to “Component” in the main menu bar.
|
Alternately, right-click on the compartment boundary and select “Change color & shape” option. | |
A dialog box appears on the screen.
|
A dialog box named 'Change color & shape' appears on the screen.
|
Go to Color panel >> Click on the color wheel >> select any color
|
To change the color, go to Color panel.
|
Click on Apply >> Then on Ok. | After all the modifications are done, click on Apply.
And then on 'Ok'. |
Explore other options to draw various Compartments on the reaction toolbar, on your own.
| |
We will now learn how to change the identity of Species. | |
Press CTRL+N
|
So, first we will open a new window by pressing CTRL+N.
|
Click on icon for generic protein>>Click on the draw area>> name it as Pectin>> click on Ok. | Now, click on the icon for 'Generic protein' from the toolbar.
|
Right click on Pectin >> Click 'change identity' option | Now right-click on the Generic protein Pectin.
|
Dialog box 'Change identity of the species' will be displayed. | A dialog box named 'Change identity of the species' appears on the screen. |
Click on the down arrow button in the class box >> select simple molecule>> type Fructose in the Name box >> click on 'Apply'
|
Click on the down arrow in the Class box.
Let's say Fructose.
|
Point on the draw area. | Observe that our Protein Pectin is now converted to a simple molecule named Fructose. |
Let us now learn to Cut, Copy and Paste.
| |
Click on a Species.
|
To cut a Species, click on the Species Fructose first.
|
Go back to the 'Edit' menu, scroll down, click 'Paste'. | To paste the species, go back to the 'Edit' menu, scroll down and click on Paste.
|
Click on a Species.
|
To make a copy of the Species, go to Edit on the main menu bar.
Click on Copy.
Click on the draw area.
|
We now have a copy of Fructose on the draw area. | |
To undo any action press Ctrl+Z and to redo any action press Ctrl+Y.
<<PAUSE>> | |
Move the Fructose molecules to the top of the draw area >> click anywhere | Let us drag and move the Fructose molecules aside on the draw area.
|
Click on Fructose and drag it to the top of the draw area. | Next we will learn,
|
In the same file, draw a state transition reaction between 2 generic proteins. | For that, I have already drawn a state transition reaction between 2 generic proteins.
I have named them Protein 1 and Protein 2. |
Recall, we already learnt how to draw a reaction earlier.
| |
Point to and then to Protein 2 | In this reaction,
|
Select Protein2 >> press “a” on keyboard. | To activate a species, click on a Species which is an 'end-point' of a Reaction.
|
Press Ctrl + Z | Let me undo this change by pressing Ctrl + Z keys. |
On the main menu bar, click on Component >> scroll down >> click on Set Active' | Alternately, click on Protein 2
Scroll down and click on Set Active. |
Point to the species. | Notice that the activated species is wrapped by a dashed line. |
Let us now change the color of the species, Protein 2. | |
Click on it once >> Click on 'Change color and shape'. | So, right-click on it and then click on 'Change color and shape'. |
In the color wheel >> select the preferred color >> click on 'Apply' >> 'Ok'. | As we saw earlier, in the Color panel is the color wheel.
|
We will now learn how to change the properties of a Reaction. | |
Point to the reaction. | Let us come back to our state transition reaction present on the draw area. |
Right click on the Reaction arrow between the two Species>> select 'Change Identity'. | Right-click on the reaction arrow between the two species.
|
A dialog box 'Change Properties of the Reaction' appears >> Type Reaction1 | A dialog box Change Properties of the Reaction appears.
Type the name of the reaction in the Name box, say Reaction1. |
From the drop-down menu in the 'Type' box >> select Transport reaction >> Click on 'Ok'. | Select the required reaction from the drop-down menu in the Type box, say Transcription.
|
Point to the reaction | Observe that the reaction has changed on the draw area.
We do not see the name that we gave on the reaction arrow in the draw area.
|
Right click on the Reaction arrow >> click on Change Identity >> select TRUE >> click on 'Ok'. | Let's right-click once again on the reaction arrow and click on Change Identity option.
In case it is a Reversible reaction, select the option TRUE and click on Ok. |
You will now see that the reaction has reversed. | |
To exit CellDesigner >> Click on File menu >> select Exit option | To exit CellDesigner, click on File and select Exit option.
<<PAUSE>>
|
Confirmation dialog box >> Click Yes>>double-click on Ok | A dialog box Confirmation appears on the screen asking if we wish to save the changes.
Click Yes and double-click on the Ok button. |
Click Yes | It says the file has been modified.
Click Yes. |
