The Ribbons software interactively displays molecular models, creates publication quality images, and analyzes crystallographic results. It requires the appropriate data files to be present in your current directory before running the program. Sample data files can be copied from /remote/server/ribbons/ribbons_265/data. For example, to view the scorpion toxin example,

  1. Login to your account on one of the MolViz systems
  2. Type cp /remote/server/ribbons/ribbons_265/data/toxin.*.
  3. Type ribbons
  4. From the model menu, select scorpion-toxin

For additional information and example uses, view the MolViz tutorial file, accessible only from the IU Chemistry MolViz systems.
