This will be the start of an attempt to create a topic based page that could be used in teaching. I will spend more time editing it asap.

The viewer below left shows the structural superposition of the triphosphate conformation of H-ras p21 (PDB entry 5p21 coloured red) with Gdp-bound human rab21 gtpase (PDB entry 1z0i - coloured blue), the structural superposition was made using the MSDfold(SSM)[http://www.ebi.ac.uk/msd-srv/ssm/ 1] server at the EBI[http://www.ebi.ac.uk 2]. Note that the global fold of these two proteins is almost identical yet their sequence identity is only 29.6% (as determined using FASTA). The viewer below right shows the p-loops of both structures superposed. The ligands bound superpose particularly well and comparison of the two p-loops loops show significant structural similarity but also highlights the sequence differences between the two proteins.
