Jmol a free, open source molecular visualization program used by students, educators and researchers internationally. The Jmol Training Guide from the MSOE Center for BioMolecular Modeling will provide the tools needed to create molecular renderings, physical models using 3-D printing technologies, as well as Jmol animations for online. Jmol is a Java-based molecular modeling application that can be used either in a stand-alone mode, or as an embedded object in webpages. Over past couple of years Jmol has emerged as a viable replacement for two long-standing tools used for visualizing macromolecules on personal computers, Rasmol and Chime.

Jmol is an open source Java-based program for viewing molecules.

Warning

Jmol can be difficult and time consuming to install. Try using the web based JSmol before attempting to install Java and Jmol. You will still need to download the molecular files needed, but your professor should make them available via Mycourses.

Using JSmol

JSmol allows you to open (click the open link just below the image viewer) files that have been downloaded to your computer. Once selected you will see the Choose file option and will be prompted to Open the file location of the molecules. Once selected, hit the load button to view the selected file.

In order to run Jmol, you will need to install Java 8 in order to run it.

1. Download Java for your Operating System:
   1. For macOS: jre-8u231-macosx-x64
   2. For Windows: jre-8u231-windows-i586-iftw
   3. If these downloads don't work, you can download Java from Oracle's website: www.java.com
2. Navigate to your downloads folder and open the downloaded file.
3. Follow the steps in the installer to install Java.
4. Once Java is installed, you may proceed to installing Jmol.

1. Download the Chem119 compressed folder.
2. Right click the folder and drag it to your Desktop or Documents folder and choose to Extract..
3. Once it finishes extracting, open the Chem119 folder.
4. Double click Jmol.jar
5. Jmol should launch, opening to a black screen.

1. To open a molecule, go to File → OpenMol
2. If Jmol doesn't open on Windows when double clicking Jmol.jar, trying running the Jmol.bat file.
