Protein Data Bank

 Assalamualaikum, today we learn about Protein Data Bank (PDB) using RasWin software. It's quite complicated, but interesting. We can observe the structure of protein in 3D with different kind of display such as wireframe, backbone, ball&stick and etc. We can also customize the colour according to temperature, structure, shapely and etc.


 The Protein Data Bank (PDB) is a repository for the 3-D structural data of large biological molecules, such as protein and nucleic acids. The data, typically obtained by X-ray crystallography or NMR spectroscopy and submitted by biologists and biochemists  from around the world, are freely accessible on the Internet via the websites of its member organisations (PDBe, PDBj, and RCSB). The PDB is a key resource in areas of structural biology, such as structural genomic.

Chemsketch :)

Assalamualaikum..Hi there :)

Today is our second class of Computer in Science at IIUM Kuantan. This course is compulsory to all Sciences students. In this subject, we learn how to draw chemical structures and graphical images using Chemsketch. Chemsketch is a scientific software.


Drawing  The Energy of Reaction Diagram
 Summarized steps to draw the energy diagram: 
1.  Drawing a curve
2. Modifying curve
3. Drawing the X and Y axes

Drawing different kinds of orbital
3 types of orbitals :
1. P orbital
2. D orbital
3. PI type orbital


Drawing lipids and micelles


This is the table of our tasks based on the syllabus : 

9.2 Drawing the energy of reaction diagram
9.3 Drawing different kinds of orbitals
9.6 Drawing lipids and micelles

This is link for download the chemsketch software

Our First Day in IIUM Kuantan

Assalamualaikum.. Hi everyone :)

Today,we will tell you about our new journey in IIUM Kuantan. We started our registration on 4th September 2012 and there are few photos that will tell you some of our story here (:


Main gate of IIUM Kuantan 


Here we spent our Taaruf week...

So,this is our  beautiful Mahallah Talhah :-)



Our walking path to our Kulliyyah of Science...

After 10 minutes of walking...tadda..this is our kulliyyah!!! :D



We are placed to our mahallah according to our programmes. So, this is the list of programmes and the mahallah.








PROGRAMME MAHALLAH
Sciences Talhah
