Science Olympiad Protein Modeling Event

Every team competing in the Science Olympiad Protein Modeling Event will be expected to understand the Jmol protein visualization tools. These online tools will be necessary for construction of both the Pre-build and the On-site build. This section contains a sample environment as well as three short video tutorials for the visualization tools.

The layout of this sample environment will be the same as the actual competition environment used for building the Pre-Build model as well as the On-Site model on the day of the competition. The protein shown in the sample environment is the zinc finger motif based on 1zaa.pdb.
