How to label the proteins in 3D structure?

[manishbudathoki]

hi
I have been using Cn3D program for viewing the 3D structure for the proteins but I am not being able to label the amino acids in the view itselg. Does anybody have idea how can I label the amino acid residues in the picture itself? Maybe any other programs.

Pymol, VMD and Rasmol all can do what you want quite straight forward. I am afraid that I never used Cn3D before, so cannot help you with that,

can you give me idea how to label the amino acid residues from rasmol in steps. Like to name the tyrosine or proline residue in the 3D structure itself from the program.

Zeus also allows users to label individual amino acids in a peptide/protein sequence. Amino acid residues are listed on the right hand side list, they can be labelled by selecting the tick under the label column. Different rendering can also be implemented for each amino acid or a group of amino acids. Zeus can be downloaded from: -
