<applet load='1z3a' size='300' frame='true' align='right' caption='1z3a' />This page is designed to be an introduction to protein structure and the 3D visualisation package, '''Jmol''', used here in Proteopedia and also on the RCSB Protein Data Bank website to visualise proteins.

The interactive image on the right shows the '''asymmetric unit''' of a zinc-containing enzyme with the pdb code '''1z3a'''. (The asymmetric unit is the smallest part of the crystal structure that can be used to generate the unit cell of a crystal and hence the entire crystal structure of a protein - see the asymmetric tutorial at the RCSB Protein Data Bank [http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/static.do?p=education_discussion/Looking-at-Structures/~~biounit_tutorial~~.html~~#Anchor-Asym~~] for more information.)

You can rotate the molecule using your mouse and zoom in and out by holding down the shift key while you move the mouse. You can also spin the molecule use the Toggle spin button below the molecule. (The popup button will open a resizable Jmol representation of the molecule in another window.)
