Myoglobin Protein Structure

 

Best view is the one obtained by depressing the button titled " **  heme group, ribbon background, ball/stick side chains". The porphyrin heme group, secondary structure and side chains are seen in the best contrast in that view. To manipulate the protein, simply place the mouse cursor anywhere on the protein, then grab it by clicking down on the left button of the mouse and holding it as you move the mouse. Rotation can be done in all 3 de

This page is being developed by T. Mallow, MS-Biology, who is engaged in post-grad preparation courses for PhD studies in biochemistry. The purpose is partly to establish a dynamic interactive molecular modeling website that students or anyone else can use free of charge. However, I am mostly using it as a medium to develop Jmol script and molecular modeling techniques and associated tools in order to obtain additional skills related to protein structure and function. It is purely for educational purposes. Use of this page is not at all commercial or for profit.

Certain Jmol script on this page has been borrowed from another web author, and any users of this page are urged to read the fair use statement provided by that author, Dr. Clarke Early of Kent State University, below regarding use of his script.
