This Sandbox is Reserved from May 10, 2015, through July 31, 2015 for use by the class Protein 3D Structure Visualization & Structural Bioinformatics taught by Eric Martz and Keiichi Namba at Osaka University, Japan. This reservation includes Sandbox Reserved 1 through Sandbox Reserved 10. Syllabus.
To get started:
  • Click the 'edit this page tab at the top. Save the page after each step, then edit it again.
  • Click the 3D button (when editing, above the wikitext box) to insert Jmol.
  • show the Scene authoring tools, create a molecular scene, and save it. Copy the green link into the page.
  • Add a description of your scene. Use the buttons above the wikitext box for bold, italics, links, headlines, etc.

(positive charges are blue, negative charges are red).

This protein is shown as (Amino (N) termini of proteins are blue. Carboxy (C) termini of proteins are red. Between termini, colors follow a spectral rainbow sequence. )


Each atom is colored by the absolute uncertainty of its position (temperature, B factor).(The positions of Red atoms have the highest uncertainty, while those of blue atoms have the greatest certainty.)


There are many variable residues on the surface, while residues on the inside are highly conserved.
