5IZ2 : Crystal structure of the N. Clavipes spidroin NTD

5IZ2 is the NTD domain of a protein called spidroin. This protein is a component of the dragline silk. There are several types of spidroin, and those that form the core of the silk are called MaSp1 (Major ampullate Spidroin-1), which are produced by in the major ampullate gland of spiders. The NTD domain of these proteins is very important because it plays a major role in the dimerisation of spidroins. Indeed, thanks to the NTD organization, 2 spidroins can be combined, leading to the production of fibres with exceptional physical qualities.

This is a sample scene created with SAT to color by Group, and another to make a transparent representation of the protein. You can make your own scenes on SAT starting from scratch or loading and editing one of these sample scenes.
