Rasmol:gcufbioinfo

Click on different balls of your molecule and it will give information about the particular atom you clicked in which it exists.

rasmol:gcufbioinfo

open raswin and select file>information to get  complete information about the particular molecule.

Rasmol:gcufbioinfo

Select raswin from your list and open it select file>open and select file from any derive and open it into rasmol .
click Display>and select different options to view your molecule.

Rasmol:gcufbioinfo

To view Structure using Rasmol you must have pdb file of your macromolecule and micromolecule so go to PDB
enter protein name for which you want to view the structure. As I entered DNA Polymerase so the result is http://www.pdb.org/pdb/explore/explore.do?structureId=3OGU
the out put is as:
 At the right of this page you can there is the option of Download files so click this. After clicking this select "PDB files(gz)".then download and install winzip to your system and download this file automatically to raswin and view the structure in rasmol.

What kinds of molecules can RasMol display?:Gcufbioinfo

RasMol can display any molecule for which a 3-dimensional structure is available. 3D structures have not been determined for many molecules of great interest; these, RasMol cannot display.
In order to display a molecule, RasMol needs a data file called an atomic coordinate file. This data file specifies the position of every atom in the molecule, as cartesian coordinates X, Y, and Z.
Three-dimensional structures can be predicted for many small molecules, but must be determined empirically for macromolecules. The most common method for determining structure is X-ray diffraction analysis of a crystal. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) can also be used. Some structures are available only as theoretical models, often based on related molecules for which empirical structures have been determined.

Rasmol Tool:

RasMol is a computer program written for molecular graphics visualization intended and used primarily for the depiction and exploration of biological macromolecule structures, such as those found in the Protein Data Bank. It was originally developed by Roger Sayle in the early 90s  get started this useful tool Download Rasmol 
here. Install Rasmol to your system and get started.
