About
the Tutorial
This tutorial is designed for version 3.2 of the Biology Workbench,
which is the current release. For your convenience, you can print
this tutorial and point your browser to the Biology Workbench. Very
soon, this and other tutorials will be available in PDF format (for
use with the Adobe Acrobat Reader), which facilitates quality printing
of documents.

Account
Set-Up
If you have never before used the Biology Workbench, you must
first register a free account. This merely serves to allocate hard
disk space for the sessions that you will run. Please select the
"Set-up a free account" link in the Biology Workbench window that
you just opened (http://workbench.sdsc.edu/) and follow the instructions.
Be assured that the username and password you provide are held in
strictest confidence, and you will only be sent e-mail if you require
account maintenance. If you have used the Biology Workbench previously,
and already have an account, feel free to proceed.

Structure
Viewing
PDB structures can be viewed for PDBFinder records that are
returned from a database search. One way to do this is to use the
Rasmol
program. The Chime
plugin is another option for viewing structures on Windows and Macintosh
machines, and we may eventually provide a Java-based structure viewer.
For molecules with PDB structures, we also provide links to the
PDB Structure Explorer
page for that particule molecule, and to the Protein
Explorer display for that particule molecule.
