PRIMARY STRUCTURE
Initial view shows one of the a chains as a smooth trace, coloured by residues (see above) Name a chain residues on a trace Number a chain residues on a trace Unlabel residues SECONDARY STRUCTURE
Ribbon display a chain Cartoon format a chain Show / hide a chain molecular detail Show / hide a chain hydrogen bonds |
QUATERNARY STRUCTURE
Show all 4 chains as ribbons, traces , all 4 haems FUNCTION: OXYGEN STORAGE WITHIN RED BLOOD CELLS Show oxygens (spacefill) - only on the 2 alpha chains DISPLAY Start /stop rotation This graphics display was prepared to support a unit on the levels of protein structure using haemoglobin as an example. |
