The interactive image on the right shows the protein with the pdb code 1z3a. You can rotate the molecule using your mouse and zoom by holding down the shift key while you move the mouse.
You will note that there are two chains in this protein,shown in green and blue. For simplicity let us concentrate on just a , chain A. To see this click on the link in green.
This is a cartoon representation of the protein, showing a schematic representation of the back bone of the protein. You may be more familiar with the following molecular representations (note that the H atoms are not shown):
- - this gives an indication of the size and shape of the protein
Let us simplify things further by looking at just a of the chain. If you rotate the model you can clearly see the backbone linking the different residues. We now draw a line through the backbone of the chain illustrated as or the alone.
Returning now to . This can be coloured according to:
- the arrangement of the
Finally, focussing now on the zinc atom
