Programs Downloading & Installation

Tutorial #1 ( GAL4 )

Tutorial #2 ( DNA quadruplex )

Tutorial #3 ( Chime scripting )

These chime exhibits were prepared by undergraduate students in the honors class CHEM & BIOCHEM 153B and 158BH as an honors project. Each student was assigned a structure paper relevant to the course material. Their project was to prepare a chime exhibit illustrating and describing the macromolecule.

This Chime exhibit is maintained by Duilio Cascio.
