Thus, any graphics program that will allow students to depict PDB files as ball-and-stick representations will work. At Holy Cross, we are currently using Spartan '02 for UNIX (Wavefunction, Inc., Irvine, CA). However, programs such as VMD [http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd (accessed May 2004)] or CHIME [http://www.mdl.com/chime (accessed May 2004)], which are available free of cost for the Windows environment, will also work.
