[Molvis-list] FirstGlance in Jmol 1.01: DNA chain selection fixed

[Eric Martz]

Two days ago, I noticed that FirstGlance in Jmol (version 1.0) could 
not select DNA chains by clicking (in the "Hide.." or "Contacts.." 
dialogs). This was a result of the changes in the remediated PDB 
format that changed all PDB files on August 1, 2007 
(http://www.wwpdb.org). I have fixed this at 
http://firstglance.jmol.org (now version 1.01) which went public yesterday.

It is also fixed in Beta FirstGlance in Jmol 1.39 (available through 
a new link at the bottom of the main page at 
http://firstglance.jmol.org). This version has a better display for 
"Charge..", but its development, documentation, and testing are not 
yet complete. It is used for the ConSurf, Pepitope, and Selecton 
servers, and the OCA PDB service.

I have also updated the list of adoptions and adaptations of 
FirstGlance in Jmol.
