If you are working remotely, you need to install two pieces of software (PyMol and KineMage) or use the Desktop@UCL Anywhere. You will also need to download the data files.

Using the Desktop@UCL
If you cannot, or do not wish to, install the software onto your computer (perhaps because you are using Windows 10S/11S and do not wish to switch off secure mode, or you are using a Mac and cannot install KineMage), it is available on the UCL Desktop - simply type 'pymol' or 'kinemage' into the search box. If you are working remotely, you can access this via the Desktop@UCL Anywhere, but it may be slow, particularly if you are using the HTML5 'Lite' version.
The UCL Desktop has several versions of PyMol installed. You should be able to use any of them except for 'PyMol Full Screen' or 'PyMol Viewer Only'.

KineMAGE
I have investigated installation of KineMage for the Mac,
but no easily installable version is currently available.
Its replacement (KiNG) does not support what we need to do
in this practical.
You must use the UCL desktop
instead.

You will also need to install Motif:
sudo dnf install motif
--or--
sudo apt-get install libmotif-common
