This Sandbox is Reserved from January 19, 2016, through August 31, 2016 for use for Student Projects for UMass Chemistry 423 Spring 2016 by the class Chemistry 423 Biochemistry for Chemists taught by Lynmarie K Thompson at University of Massachusetts Amherst, USA. This reservation includes Sandbox Reserved 425 through Sandbox Reserved 439.



Asp Receptor Ligand-binding domain (1wat)[1]

Bacteria use this protein to"smell"their environment (PDB entry 1wat)
