Click on the links down the right side of the page to view animations of reassembled native protein structures. The structures are rendered by JSmol.

(All animations have now been converted to JSmol. There are no longer any security issues. However, JSmol is not as fast as Jmol was. For small to medium proteins and using a fast computer, JSmol is adequate. Please be patient with the processing of large proteins.)
 

While the primary criterion for docking these structures is D2 symmetry and quality of steric fit, they also mostly have a barrel structure within each subunit and its axis is directed towards the centre of the complex. This symmetry principle is described in this poster.

In places there is some overlap of side-chains resulting from minor structural changes during crystallisation. I have not attempted to correct these. What I am showing in structures with the "n1" prefix is "reassembly" rather than full restoration of the native protein. However, some later additions to the gallery will include oligosaccharide side chains, freely rotating auxiliary domains and polypeptide tethers that have been re-orientated away from the crystal structures to better reflect their probable locations in solution. Such cases will be clearly indicated with the "n2" prefix.
