Protein structure

Returning now to both chains in the structure 1z3a we will use this to identify the four tiers of protein structure.

Drag the structure with the mouse to rotate

The primary structure is simply the arrangement of amino acid residues with in the chain. This can be emphasized by colouring Chain A according to . Hover your cursor over the molecule to identify some of the different residues present in the protein.

The protein can also be coloured according to the secondary structure. In the a-helices are shown in pink and <math>b</math>-sheets in yellow. Rotate the molecule to look at these features in more detail.
