Slide Number 3 Learning Objectives contd. ...	We will also learn To Cut, Copy and Paste a Species About Start-point and End-point of a Species How to Activate a Species Change color of a Species Change properties of Reaction Close a File
Slide Number 4 System Requirement	Here I am using Ubuntu Linux OS version 14.04 CellDesigner version 4.3 Java version 1.7
Slide Number 5 Pre-requisites	To follow this tutorial, you should be familiar with undergraduate Biochemistry. And you should be familiar with CellDesigner interface. If not, for relevant CellDesigner tutorials, please visit our website spoken-tutorial.org
Slide 6	Learners please note: some of the previous tutorials in this series, were created on Windows OS. However, hereon the series will be completed on Ubuntu Linux OS.
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. Recall, in the Installation tutorial it was mentioned that .xml file can be opened in CellDesigner only. So, click on File and then on Open option.
Click on 'Create and Edit'.	A dialog box named Open appears on the screen. Here, we have to select the folder under ‘Folders’ label Click on the 'Create_and_Edit.xml' file under the ‘File’ label and then click ‘Ok’.
	Our file Create_and_Edit.xml is now open in the draw area.
Point to the compartment	And here is our compartment named Cell.
	To start with, let us change the shape of the compartment to oval.
Select the compartment >> click on “Component” >> scroll down and select “Change to OVAL”	Select the compartment. Go to 'Component' in the main menu, scroll down and select 'Change to OVAL'. On the draw area, we now have an oval compartment.
Select the compartment >> click on “Component” >> scroll down and point to Change color & shape	To change the color or thickness, select the compartment once again. Go to “Component” in the main menu and click on “Change color & shape” option.
	Alternately, right-click on the compartment boundary and select “Change color & shape” option.
A dialog box appears on the screen. Change the number to 8.	A dialog box named 'Change color & shape' appears on the screen. For a thinner boundary line, change the 'Membrane Thickness' from 12 to 8 or below.
Go to Color panel >> Click on the color wheel >> select any color	To change the color, go to Color panel. In the Color panel is a color wheel, with a pointer like handle. Click and hold the pointer and rotate to select the preferred color.
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. <<PAUSE>>
	We will now learn how to change the identity of the Species.
Press CTRL+N Type Change Species.	So, first we will open a new window by pressing CTRL+N. Let us give a name to this file, say Change Species. We will keep the default width and height. Now click on Ok button.
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. Click on the draw area, in the dialog box, type Pectin and click on 'Ok' button.
Right click on Pectin >> Click 'change identity' option	Now right-click on the Generic protein Pectin. Then click on the option 'Change Identity'.
Dialog box 'Change identity of the species' will be displayed.	A dialog box named 'Change identity of the species' appears.
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. Select any option, for example, say simple molecule, from the drop-down menu. Now, give a name to this simple molecule in the Name box, let's say Fructose. And click on 'Apply' button.
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. I will use the same Fructose that is already present on the draw area.
Click on a Species. Go to 'Edit' menu, scroll down, click on 'Cut'.	To cut a Species, click on the Species Fructose first. Click on the 'Edit' menu, scroll down and click on 'Cut'. Notice here that the shortcut key for Cut is Ctrl+X. The Species Fructose has been cut.
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'. Notice here that the shortcut key for Paste is Ctrl+V. The Species reappears on the draw area.
Click on a Species. Go to 'Edit' menu, scroll down, click on Copy >> press Ctrl + V	To make a copy, click on the Species i.e. Fructose. On the Edit menu, click on Copy. Notice here that the shortcut key for Copy is Ctrl+C. This time, let us press Ctrl + V to paste.
	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. These are however, limited in their use. <<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. To do so, click on Fructose and drag it to the desired location.
Click on Fructose and drag it to the top of the draw area.	Next we will learn, what are start-point and end-point species and how to activate a species?
In the same file, draw a state transition reaction between 2 generic proteins.	Now on the draw area, I have drawn a state transition reaction between 2 generic proteins, Protein 1 and Protien 2
	Recall, we already learnt how to draw a reaction earlier. If you do not know, refer to the previous tutorials in this series. Let's proceed.
Point to and then to Protein 2	In this reaction, the ‘start point’ is ‘Protein 1’ and the ‘end point’ is Protein 2.
Select Protein2 >> press “a” on keyboard.	To activate a species, click on a Species which is an 'end-point' of a Reaction. In our case, it is Protein 2. Now, press 'a' on the keyboard.
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 Next, on the main menu bar, go to Component, 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. Click and rotate the pointer, to select the preferred color. Then, click on 'Apply' and 'Ok'. Observe the color change in the species. <<PAUSE>>
	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. Now select 'Change Identity' option.
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. Click on 'Ok'.
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. Don't worry, we will learn about it in upcoming tutorials.
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. 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. Alternately, you may press Ctrl+Q. <<PAUSE>>
Summary	Let us summarize: In this tutorial, we have learnt to: Open an already saved .xml file in the draw area Change shape, size, color and thickness of the border of a Compartment Create multiple files in CellDesigner Change identity of a Species
Summary	We have learnt: To Cut, Copy and Paste a Species About Start-point and End-point of a Species How to Activate a Species Change color of a Species Change properties of Reaction Close a File
