Before you login to <code>CIRCE</code>, you need to make sure you have X11 Forwarding enabled. If you’re logging in from a UNIX/Linux system, you will need to do the following:
{{X11Connection}}
 
<pre style="white-space:pre-wrap; width:35%; border:1px solid lightgrey; background:#000000; color:white;">
ssh -Y user@circe.rc.usf.edu</pre>
Then, you will need a protein or molecule to play with. Go to http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/ and grab one in <code>.pdb</code> format. Other supported filetypes are listed here: http://jmol.sourceforge.net/#What%20Jmol%20can%20do


Next, start jmol:
Once connected to CIRCE, you can open Jmol using the steps below:


Simply type <code> jmol </code> at the command prompt AFTER loading the proper module (see above) in your terminal window. If you have properly configured an X11 session, you should see the full Jmol interface.
<pre style="white-space:pre-wrap; width:35%; border:1px solid lightgrey; background:#000000; color:white;">[user@login0 ~]$ module add apps/jmol/11.6.24
[user@login0 ~]$ jmol</pre>


Finally, go to '''File-&gt;Open''' and open your molecule file.
Finally, go to '''File-&gt;Open''' and open your molecule file.


For Windows, Mac, and Linux users, Jmol can also be launched through the CIRCE Desktop Environment using a terminal. For more information about the CIRCE Desktop Environment, please see our [[CIRCE Desktop|CIRCE Desktop Environment]] documentation.

Description

Jmol is an open-source Java viewer for chemical structures in 3D.

Version

  • 11.6.24

Authorized Users

  • CIRCE account holders
  • RRA account holders
  • SC account holders

Platforms

  • CIRCE cluster
  • RRA cluster
  • SC cluster

Modules

Jmol requires the following module file to run:

  • apps/jmol/11.6.24

Running Jmol on CIRCE

The Jmol user guide is essential to understanding the application and making the most of it. The guide and this page should help you to get started with your simulations. Please refer to the Documentation section for a link to the guide.

  • Note on CIRCE: Make sure to run your jobs from your $WORK directory!

Starting the Application

Establishing a GUI connection to CIRCE/SC

To use Jmol, you will need to connect to CIRCE/SC with GUI redirection, either using:

  • CIRCE/SC Desktop Environment
  • SSH with X11 redirection
    • If connecting from OSX or Linux via SSH, please ensure that you use one of the following commands to properly redirect X11:
      • [user@localhost ~]$ ssh -X circe.rc.usf.edu
        or
      • [user@localhost ~]$ ssh -X sc.rc.usf.edu

Once connected to CIRCE, you can open Jmol using the steps below:

[user@login0 ~]$ module add apps/jmol/11.6.24
[user@login0 ~]$ jmol

Finally, go to File->Open and open your molecule file.
