Looking at Proteins

Stick and ball representations of amino acids.
Animation movies of ATP Synthase provides some spectacular and very accurate movies of this very important protein.
Principles of Protein Structure Using the Internet is a guide to protein structures.
The Online Macromolecular Museum provides an excellent introduction to protein structures through molecular displays.
Rasmol is a no-frills protein structure viewer.
Swiss-PDB is a much more sophisticated package. It's better for serious research.
Kinemage is good for slide shows and guided tours of protein structure
CHIME is a simple browser that reads PDB and kinemage is
