Figures for Notes on Alpha + Beta Tertiary Structures

This page contains all the figures used in the notes on tertiary alpha helix structures. You may want to keep this page open, or print this page when going through the notes.

Please also note that this page contains pdb structure files and you need Jmol to view, and manimpulate, these structures.

Figure 10.1 Alpha + Beta domain - Example 1

No defined structural analogy. Domain highlighted from lysozyme (1lz1.pdb). You may like to try these commands:

Figure 10.2 Figure 10.1 Alpha + Beta domain - Example 2

No defined structural analogy but a little more order. Domain highlighted from FK506 Binding Protein (1yat.pdb). Choose your own commands to view the structure.

Figure 10.3 Alpha + Beta Barrel

Domain highlighted from green fluorescent protein (1ema.pdb). Choose your own commands to view the structure.

Figure 10.4 Aplha + beta n-layer sandwich

A 3-layer sandwich is highlighted from serum response factor (1srs.pdb). Where there are two layers of helices sandwiching a layer of beta sheets. Choose your own commands to view the structure.
