Introduction
This proteopedia page is intended as a companion to a physical model of RNase A used for teaching protein folding and structure at Westfield State University.
Mark Hoelzer from the MSOE Center for Biomolecular Modeling [1] designed, printed and painted the model. Having the model in your hand is great because you can experience the structure in a very direct way, and having this companion page is great because you can see the model even if you do not have the physical model in your hand. It also allows you to hover over different parts of the model with a mouse to get more information (try it after turning off spinning with the +/- spin button!).
