JMOL and visualization software

As part of the Biochemistry unit of the G11 unit, students are asked to observe molecules via visualization software “to compare cellulose, starch and glycogen”.

Check out the following:

Download the JMOL software at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/jmol/

Go to the containing folder and click on JMOL.jar

Then you can access the relevant molecules at https://sites.google.com/a/lcis.bs/plastics-in-the-ocean/carbohydrates-activity

In order to play around with the molecule, right click on the image and some options appear.
