Viewing 3D Structures in Geneious Prime

This video shows how to visualize PDB protein structures in Geneious Prime: rotate, zoom, and pan the 3D viewer, adjust color scheme, style, and effects such as spin, then select and highlight specific residues or atoms. A ribonuclease A example shows how to locate and highlight the three active site residues forming its catalytic triad.
