| - | The organism that Spy is from is Escherichia coli.The protein Spy can facilitate protein folding by allowing it to prevent clustering. That is done by grabbing the proteins as they start to misfold right before they are able to stick to other proteins to make big cluster. The protein also needs to bind very quickly. | + | The protein Spy is molecular chaperon and one of the thinnest molecules that is ever to be found.

This is a sample scene created with SAT to <scene name="/12/3456/Sample/1">color</scene> by Group, and another to make <scene name="/12/3456/Sample/2">a transparent representation</scene> of the protein. You can make your own scenes on SAT starting from scratch or loading and editing one of these sample scenes. | This is a sample scene created with SAT to <scene name="/12/3456/Sample/1">color</scene> by Group, and another to make <scene name="/12/3456/Sample/2">a transparent representation</scene> of the protein.
