| 00:01 | Welcome to this tutorial on Structures from Database in Jmol. |
| 00:07 | In this tutorial, we will learn to: |
| 00:10 | Load chemical structures from PubChem database and |
| 00:14 | Convert 2D structures drawn in GChemPaint to 3D models in Jmol. |
| 00:21 | To follow this tutorial, you should be familiar with Jmol Application. |
| 00:27 | If not, watch the relevant tutorials available at our website. |
| 00:33 | To record this tutorial, I am using: |
| 00:35 | Ubuntu OS version 12.04 |
| 00:40 | Jmol version 12.2.2 |
| 00:44 | Java version 7 |
| 00:46 | GChemPaint version 0.12.10 |
| 00:51 | Mozilla Firefox browser 22.0. |
| 00:56 | I have opened a new Jmol Application window. |
| 01:00 | Jmol has a feature to load structures of compounds listed in the database. |
| 01:07 | The File' menu on the menu bar has an option Get MOL. |
| 01:12 | This loads molecules from chemical structure database PubChem. |
| 01:17 | It also has another option Get PDB to load protein structures from Protein Data Bank. |
| 01:26 | This feature will be explained in detail, in another tutorial. |
| 01:31 | To load a chemical structure on the panel, click on Get Mol. |
| 01:36 | An Input dialog-box opens on the screen. |
| 01:40 | Any molecule listed in the database can be loaded by typing the following, in the text box: |
| 01:48 | Common name or IUPAC name, |
| 01:51 | CAS number, |
| 01:54 | CID number, |
| 01:56 | InChi identifier or |
| 01:58 | SMILES identifier. |
| 02:01 | Please visit Pubchem database website for information on identification numbers, for a particular chemical. |
| 02:09 | Let us display phenol on screen. |
| 02:13 | So, type: "phenol" in the Input text-box. |
| 02:16 | click on OK button. |
| 02:20 | A model of phenol is displayed on the panel. |
| 02:24 | We can modify the display of phenol using various rendering options. |
| 02:30 | These options are listed in the Menu bar and Pop-up menu. |
| 02:36 | We can add substituents to the benzene ring of phenol. |
| 02:41 | First, let us label the atoms in the model. |
| 02:45 | Click on the Display menu and select Label. Click on Number option. |
| 02:52 | Now, let's replace a hydrogen- number 10, attached to the carbon atom -number 4, with an amino group. |
| 03:00 | Open the modelkit menu, select nitrogen from the options. |
| 03:06 | Click on hydrogen- number 10. |
| 03:09 | This is a molecule of Para-Amino Phenol on the panel. |
| 03:14 | We will change the display to Sticks display. |
| 03:18 | Exit the modelkit menu. |
| 03:21 | Open the Pop-up menu, scroll down to Style , select Scheme and click on Sticks options. |
| 03:30 | On the panel, we have a model of Para-Amino-phenol in sticks display. |
| 03:36 | Complex structures which are difficult to create, can easily be loaded on the panel. |
| 03:42 | For example: cholesterol. |
| 03:45 | Click on File menu. |
| 03:47 | Click on Get Mol option. In the text-box, type: Cholesterol . |
| 03:54 | click on OK button. |
| 03:57 | A molecule of Cholesterol is displayed on the panel. |
| 04:02 | We can highlight the features like double-bond and side-chain, in the molecule. |
| 04:08 | To highlight double-bond, let us first change the color of carbon atoms of the double-bond. |
| 04:15 | Click on Select atoms icon in the tool bar. |
| 04:19 | Then click on the carbon atoms involved in the double-bond. |
| 04:24 | A yellow halo appears around the atoms. |
| 04:28 | Open the Pop-up-menu. |
| 04:30 | Scroll down to Color, select Atoms and click on Orange option. |
| 04:37 | Now click on “Rotate molecule” option in the tool bar. |
| 04:42 | The double-bond in the cholesterol model is now in orange color. |
| 04:49 | Similarly, we can highlight the carbons in the side-chain. |
| 04:54 | Using Pop-up-menu, change the color to violet. |
| 04:59 | On the panel, we have a model of Cholesterol with important features highlighted. |
| 05:06 | As an assignment- |
| 05:08 | Load structure of caffeine from Pubchem database. |
| 05:11 | Highlight the important features in the molecule. |
| 05:15 | Modify the display to wireframe. |
| 05:19 | Now I will discuss another important feature of Jmol. |
| 05:24 | We can convert 2D structures of molecules, drawn in another software, into 3D models. |
| 05:31 | Here, I have a model of amino acid Alanine on the panel. |
| 05:36 | 2D structure of this molecule was drawn in a software called GChemPaint. |
| 05:42 | The structure was saved as a ".mol" file. |
| 05:46 | GchemPaint is an Open source software for drawing 2D chemical structures. |
| 05:51 | Tutorials on GChemPaint are available at the following link. |
| 05:56 | To draw structures and save in ".mol" format, refer to Analysis of Compounds tutorial. |
| 06:05 | Shown on this Gchempaint display area are 2D drawings of- |
| 06:10 | Amino acid -Alanine |
| 06:12 | Nuclioside -Adenosine and |
| 06:14 | Saccharide -Alpha-D glucopyranose. |
| 06:19 | I have saved them in '.mol' format on my Desktop. |
| 06:24 | First let's view the 2D structure of Alanine as 3D model, in Jmol Application. |
| 06:32 | So, I will open a new Jmol window. |
| 06:36 | Click on Open a file icon in the tool bar. |
| 06:40 | I will choose Desktop folder and click on Open. Choose the file 'Alanine.mol' and click on Open button. |
| 06:51 | A 3D model of Alanine opens on screen. |
| 06:55 | Open the modelkit menu and click on fix hydrogens and minimize option. |
| 07:03 | Hydrogens are added to the structure and the energy minimized. |
| 07:08 | As with any ".mol" file, we can change the display using menu bar and also Pop-up menu. |
| 07:15 | Here is the 3D model of Adenosine.mol in Jmol. |
| 07:19 | And this is a 3D model of Alpha-D-glucopyranose.mol in Jmol. |
| 07:25 | Let's summarize. |
| 07:27 | In this tutorial, we have learnt to: |
| 07:32 | Load chemical structures from Pubchem data base. |
| 07:34 | Modify the display of Phenol and Cholesterol. |
| 07:38 | Convert 2D structures drawn in GChemPaint to 3D models in Jmol. |
| 07:44 | Convert 2D structures of Alanine, Adenosine and Alpha-D-glucopyranose to 3D models. |
| 07:53 | Here is another assignment for you. |
| 07:56 | Draw 2D structures of the following Amino acids in GChemPaint- |
| 08:01 | Cysteine |
| 08:03 | Histidine Phenylalanine |
| 08:06 | Save as '.mol' files. |
| 08:09 | Open the files in Jmol and modify the display. |
