The structure of LF<sub>N</sub> undergoes a dramatic conformational change upon iron binding. Upon iron binding, the two domains of LF<sub>N</sub> undergo a rigid 54.1º rotation about a <scene name='Sandbox_Reserved_302/Hinge/1'>screw axis</scene> that passes through Thr90 and Pro251.<ref name="gerstein">PMID:8230220</ref>

</jmol>, we first load the two structures and superimpose them. You can choose a viewing orientation before pressing the morph button, which will visualize the conformational change from structure 1CB6 to 1LCF and back again<ref>The [[Jmol/Storymorph|Storymorph Jmol scripts]] creates the interpolated coordinates of the morph on the fly.</ref>
.

    <script>select protein;spacefill only;</script>
