Loading Molecules

To further explore AARSs we will now examine three AspRS molecules alongside one SerRS molecule in MultiSeq.

To load our molecules we need to source a tcl script. The tcl script loads ASTRAL files that contain the atom coordinates of the four AARSs. In the terminal window, at the prompt type:
> source msdemo.tcl.

4 unaligned AARS molecules
Within the OpenGL display window, the four molecules will appear randomly. We will now walk through the steps for aligning these molecules.
