Time Narration
00:01 Welcome to this tutorial on Structures from Databases 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 Linux 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 data base '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 aminoacid Alanine on the panel.
05:36 2D structure of this molecule was drawn in 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
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
08:04 * Phenylalanine
08:06 # Save as .mol files.
08:09 # Open the files in Jmol and modify the display.
