An Introduction to the ICM-Pro Graphical User Interface

This tutorial provides a brief introduction to the ICM-Pro Desktop Modeling Software by MolSoft LLC. Learn essential functions including how to read PDB structures, navigate the 3D space through rotation and zooming, make various selections, and convert PDB structures into ICM objects. Explore advanced visualization techniques such as displaying pockets and surfaces, and displaying and contouring electron density. Discover how to read Uniprot sequences, create alignments, identify gaps in protein chains, and fill those gaps using the Homology/Full Model Builder. The 16-minute guide walks through each function with timestamps for easy reference, making it ideal for new users of molecular modeling software. For additional questions, contact info@molsoft.com.
