Wasting Time

Just spent a few minutes idly watching levothyroxine and Liothyronine!

This links to Levothyroxine:

Play about with the options (at left):

Ball and Stick

Sticks

Wire-Frame

Space-Filling

--

Show Hydrogens

Animate

And choose various viewing options:

Full-screen

Rotate

Zoom in

Zoom out

Will this help you decide your dose of thyroid hormone? Or understand how it works?

Almost certainly, not one little bit.

I particularly rate combining Animate and Full-screen - with any other options. The bigger your screen, the better.

In case it isn't obvious, purple indicates iodine, red is oxygen, blue is nitrogen, and grey is carbon.

This made me chuckle!

The last time I played with a ball and stick was on the hockey field....and that didn't make much sense to me either!!!

"Not one little bit"!!
