# VMD is an exceptional program to visualize molecular structures. The main drawback of this software is the learning curve that turns it hard to use by non-expert users. One of the major difficulties that non-expert users have while handling VMD regards the selection of atoms. This is done through a series of keywords that the user must dominate in order to for example visualize and/or hide particular parts of the molecule, do specific transformations on the atoms of that selectin, etc.
#
# In order to overcome this issues we have developed “Selection Manager”. This plug-in allows to do common selections on molecules without requiring any prior knowledge regarding the keywords available of VMD. It makes the selection of the atoms simpler and easy for non-expert users. In addition it still allows the insertion of advanced commands but alerts the user for error on the syntax.

In order to run the vsÇab plug-in, the Visual Molecular dynamics software (VMD) must be installed. It can be found at http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/ .
VsLab can only be installed in LINUX and MAC operating systems, due to the limitations of the autodock software. Installation in Windows will be available whenever possible.
