How to perform basic operations on a molecular structure using VMD?

This video tutorial will guide you to visualise, represent, manipulate and render images of a molecular structure obtained from the protein data bank using Visual Molecular Dynamics (VMD). For more info on VMD atom selection language for representation, see www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/....

This is the best VMD tutorial I’ve seen. You teach well. Thank you!

Hi Dr Bhattacharya,
This was an extremely informative video. I have very little exposure to bioinformatics. I have been given an assignment to find different structures of the same protein molecule on PDB ( I am thinking of going with Tau protein) and then use VMD to analyse difference between different structures of that protein, measure their dihedrals, find the flexible regions of a protein and determine what role dihedrals play in flexibility (vibrations, degrees of freedom) in the protein of choice.
Can you help me on how to approach this problem? Any suggestions would be welcome.

I have dipole.xvg file for a protein , generated using gromacs. I will be a grt help if u tell me how to visualize THAT dipole moment along with protein in vmd!!!
