1. Introduction/User Interface of PyMOL

This tutorial outlines the installation of PyMOL and introduces the user to the scope and use for PyMOL. The user interface (UI) is explored and a simple render of a protein is created. This tutorial is for anyone using PyMOL for the first time or needing a refresher to version 2.3+. 

For more information about PyMOL or for questions not covered here, see the PyMOL support page.
