:Introduce the protein function, how it is related to a disease, and what is important about the ligand in the complex. Make 1-2 green scenes suitable for the Molecular Playground: attractive and informative illustrations (1) the protein complex, and (2) what is especially interesting about it. Include clever captions for potential display at the Molecular Playground -- captions must be short, ideally < 10 words. | :Introduce the protein function, how it is related to a disease, and what is important about the ligand in the complex.

: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.
