As life is more than 2D, Proteopedia helps to bridge the gap between 3D structure & function of biomacromolecules

Its goal is to present this information in a user-friendly manner to a broad scientific audience as a free, collaborative 3D-encyclopedia of proteins & other molecules.

Lifecycle of SARS-CoV-2

What happens if a SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus enters your lung? This molecular animation visualises how the virus particle can take over the host cell and turns it into a virus factory. Eventually, the host cell produces so many viral particles that it dies and releases numerous new virus particles. >>> Visit this page >>>

Structure of Anticancer Ruthenium Half-Sandwich Complex Bound to Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3ß

G Atilla-Gocumen, L Di Costanzo, E Meggers. J Biol Inorg Chem. 2010 doi: 10.1007/s00775-010-0699-x
A crystal structure of an organometallic half-sandwich ruthenium complex bound to glycogen synthase kinase 3ß (GSK-3ß) reveals that the inhibitor binds to the ATP binding site via an induced fit mechanism utilizing several hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions. Importantly, the metal is not involved in any direct interaction with the protein kinase but fulfills a purely structural role.

Introduction to protein structure

This tutorial illustrates some basic properties of protein structure:

  • Levels of protein structure.
  • Ways of representing protein structure.
  • Secondary structures.
  • Motifs in proteins.
  • Domains.
  • Tertiary structure.
  • Quaternary structure.
