We apologize for Proteopedia being slow to respond. For the past two years, a new implementation of Proteopedia has been being built. Soon, it will replace this 18-year old system. All existing content will be moved to the new system at a date that will be announced here.

DNA consists of base pairs supported by a backbone formed from repeating sugar and <scene name='77/777664/Example_phosphate_group/2'>phosphate</scene> groups. There are four bases: <scene name='77/777664/Adenine_bases/3'>adenine</scene>, guanine, cytosine, and thymine.

NCAM consists of one distinct polypeptide chain, two copies of which combine to form a homodimer. Each polypeptide is 191 amino acids long and contains four chains: the A, B, C, and D chains.

This Sandbox is Reserved from January through July 31, 2018 for use in the course HLSC322: Principles of Genetics and Genomics taught by Genevieve Houston-Ludlam at the University of Maryland, College Park, USA. This reservation includes Sandbox Reserved 1311 through Sandbox Reserved 1430.
To get started:
  • Click the edit this page tab at the top. Save the page after each step, then edit it again.
  • Click the 3D button (when editing, above the wikitext box) to insert Jmol.
  • show the Scene authoring tools, create a molecular scene, and save it. Copy the green link into the page.
  • Add a description of your scene. Use the buttons above the wikitext box for bold, italics, links, headlines, etc.
