Click on Update and close the dialog box.
Drag the corner of the molecule to accomodate the name. |
Next, let’s change the position of the linked reaction. | |
Click on Valine >> Without releasing the mouse, drag the Species. | Click in the center of the 'end-point' species i.e. Valine and drag and drop at the desired location. |
Repeat the same with Aminotransferase | |
Observe that the linked reaction follows wherever the ‘end-point’ Species moves. | |
How to connect a reaction line around a species. | We will now learn how to connect a reaction line around a species. |
A Reaction line can be connected to any of the 16 connection points around a Species.
I will show you how to do so. | |
Click on File >> New
Type the filename as ‘Connection point of Species’. |
Open a new window by pressing CTRL+N.
Name this file as Connection points. |
Click Ok. | Keep the default width and height and click on Ok the button. |
<<PAUSE RECORDING>>

Cursor on the toolbar >>Click on the State transition>> hover the mouse on Protein 1>> | In the main menu,click on the icon for State Transition.
Then, on the draw area, hover the mouse on ‘start-point' Species, Protein 1. |
Mouse hovering | Observe that all 16 connection points are highlighted in grey color. |
Point the cursor to one connection point. | Note that when the cursor is pointed to one of these connection points, it will change to blue color. |
Click on any one of the connection points. | Let’s click on one of the connection points. |
Hover the mouse on Protein 2 | In the same manner, hover the mouse on the ‘end-point' Species i.e. Protein 2. |
Click on any one of the connection points. | Again, as explained above, click on the required connection point. |
Cursor on State Transition reaction line between the selected connection points. | A State Transition reaction line is formed between the selected connection points. |
Next, we will align the Reaction line. | |
Click on the State transition reaction line between Protein 1 and Protein 2 | Click on the State transition reaction line between Protein 1 and Protein 2 |
Point the cursor on the 2 process nodes on the reaction line | Note that the 2 process nodes on the reaction line get highlighted. |
One by one, hover the mouse on 2 process nodes of start point and end point of the species | If we hover the mouse on either of the 2 process nodes, a ‘plus’ sign appears. |
Click on the process node>> Drag and place the reaction line on the required connection point. | Click on one of the process nodes.
Now drag and place the pointer on the preferred connection point. |
