*Choose a molecule that includes '''protein and ligand'''. It may also include nucleic acid, but must have protein and ligand.
*Choose a molecule that includes '''protein'''. It may also include ligand and/or nucleic acid, but must have protein.
*Be sure to note the '''4-character PDB code''' of the molecule you choose. The PDB code makes it easy to retrieve the molecule and information about it. Here are some ways to find a protein with known structure:
