Help for Chime Pages
If you have the Chime plugin correctly loaded, you should see a molecule and some buttons below:
Rotating Models: Place your cursor in the Chime window, click and hold the mouse button and move the cursor
Model Display: Windows: Right-click on the Chime window to access an options menu. (Macintosh: Click and hold on the Chime window.) Use the Display submenu to change the model display.
Identify Atoms: Click the button next to "Identify Atoms" and then click any atom in the Chime window. The atom label will appear in the text box below the buttons.
Bond Length: Click the button next to "Bond Length" and then click any two atoms. The distance between those atoms will appear in the text box (in units of Angstroms).
Bond Angle: Click the button next to "Bond Angle" and then click any three atoms. (In the example, click C, O, and H in that order.) The corresponding bond angle will appear in the text box.
Dihedral Angle (Torsion Angle): Click the button next to "Dihedral Angle" and then click any four atoms. (In the example, click H, C, O, and H in that order.) The corresponding dihedral angle will appear in the text box.
Note: The most recent function remains active until you click another button.
