The aim of this blog is to encourage development and dissemination of knowledge of native protein structures at the quaternary level, that is, knowledge of the arrangements of subunits in functional proteins. The fundamental starting point of this discussion is that the arrangements seen in protein crystals are not necessarily the native arrangements.

Gallery of 3D Protein Structures
I have begun a gallery of 3D structures of the proteins mentioned on this blog. The structures are rendered by the powerful Jmol applet using the same graphic interface used by the Protein Data Bank. Jmol can display spacefill, backbone or cartoon representations. Jmol can calculate and display surfaces and cavities. It can rotate the structure in any way requested by the user and responds to scripts similar to those of RASMOL and other protein display programs. Click here to enter the gallery.
