This Sandbox is Reserved from February 28 through September 1, 2022 for use in the course CH462 Biochemistry II taught by R. Jeremy Johnson at the Butler University, Indianapolis, USA. This reservation includes Sandbox Reserved 1700 through Sandbox Reserved 1729.
To get started:
Click the edit this page tab at the top. Save the page after each step, then edit it again.

In order for the Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK) to move across the membrane to bind with the second monomer, it has to undergo a conformational change. The Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase Activating Ligand (ALKAL) binds to the binding surface on the ALK. This induces a conformational change which allows for the PXL and the GlyR domains to hinge forward. [1] The kinase is now ready to move across the membrane and attach to the other kinase to be fully activated.
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.
