''Your proteopedia page should be organized into the following required sections, with each team member responsible for one of sections a-f of the team project.'' | ''Your proteopedia page should be organized into the following required sections, with each team member responsible for one of sections a-f of the team project.'' | ||
Each section should have its own JMol window. Provide an interesting description (suitable for non-experts), and illustrate your points about the complex with multiple green scenes. Be concise (<300 words)! Do not include any copyrighted figures! All sections must be written in your own words with citations to your sources, following the reference format in the example below. You may include links to other interesting information or scenes but you must create your own scenes for display on your page. | Each section should have its own JMol window.

:Describe the overall structure of your protein in words and make "green scenes" to illustrate your points. What elements of secondary structure are present (ie 5 alpha helices and 2 beta strands) and how are they organized? Additional description and green scenes could illustrate the polar/nonpolar distrubution of amino acids (is the inside of the barrel polar or nonpolar?), packing of amphipathic elements, etc. | :Describe the overall structure of your protein in words and make "green scenes" to illustrate your points.
