 | Building a Metal Complex
|
This tutorial will walk you through the construction of a metal complex
within the CAChe model construction screen. This tutorial will presume
you have already gone through the
ligand construction tutorial and have
the "bpy.csf" file available to use in the construction of a metal complex.
A set of step by step instructions
will be given with links to screens that show you this process in a stepwise
manner. To use this tutorial open up both a Netscape window and a CAChe
window within Windows 95. This will give you two items on your menu bar, a
CAChe icon and a Netscape icon. This will allow you to easily switch between
the two screens so you can construct you molecule step by step within the
CAChe system as you are guided by these tutorials. To switch between these
two applications just click on either the CAChe or Netscape icon on your
menu bar to put that screen on top. This method makes switching applications
faster since you do not have to reopen the applications each time.
This tutorial consists of two excercises:
Construction of a Metal Complex
Modification of a Metal Complex
This is a series of molecular modeling tutorials developed by
Karen J. Brewer
for use in the Chemistry Department at Virginia Tech to assist students with
utilization of the CAChe molecular modeling package version 3.9 on a SGI
workstation using IBM clients Satellite for Windows 95 version 3.0.
