How this tutorial works

This frame contains a scrollable list of modifications you can make to the molecule on display in the frame to the right. Click on the the small 'x' button next to the description of a change to execute the corresponding script. Click on the '?' button for an explanation of what is being done to the molecule. Explanations appear in a help window that you can dismiss when you are finished with it. The molecule in the window to the right can be manipulated using the mouse. Hit the Mouse Icon to learn to rotate, zoom, render etc.

Wait for molecule to display . Then proceed by clicking 'x' next " Display ATP Free form
