Viewing a molecule: Titin

Once you have JMV started, you can load a molecule in a number of ways. Select ``Load a file'' from the ``File'' menu. This will bring up a dialog box asking for a file name. Type in ``1TIT'' and click ``Load''. This will load the molecule Titin from the RCSB, a repository of molecular files. The screen should display ``Loading...'' indicating that it is currently loading the molecule, and then display it. You can move the molecule with the mouse buttons. The left button rotates it, the middle button zooms, and the right button translates it. On 2-button mice, rotation is accomplished by pressing the Alt-key and the left mouse button.
