4helix_density

This demo shows the structure of a four helix bundle, for use in crystallization of membrane proteins, (peptitergent) as it appears in the following publication: C.E. Schafmeister, L.J.W. Miercke, R.M. Stroud, Science 262, 734 (1993).

This demo can be run by typing midas -f (on a DEC Alpha: midas -fullscreen)
In Midas type: source demo.com
To see the density solidly rendered, type ribbonjr

All density map files and pdb files necessary are included in this directory.
For more information on displaying your electron density using MidasPlus, see the manual pages on the "density" MidasPlus delegate.
