Symmetry, Pseudo-symmetry and Evolution in Protein Structures

This poster was displayed at BioPhysChem 2011 at the University of Wollongong 3-6 December 2011. Reasoning from the effect of Natural Selection on symmetry, it shows examples of the arrangement of subunits in a complex and the alignment of "barrel" structures pointing towards the centre of the complex.
