<scene name='59/599354/Helix/5'>Backbone Trace</scene>: Now we'll draw a <font style="background:black;color:yellow;"> yellow line </font> between alpha carbons (balls). This line is called a <font style="background:black;color:yellow;"> backbone trace </font>. | |||
*<scene name='59/599354/Helix/6'>Hiding all atoms except alpha carbons</scene> makes the backbone trace even clearer. | |||
<scene name='59/599354/Helix/ | *Here is the <scene name='59/599354/Helix/7'>backbone trace by itself</scene>. | ||
==Smoothed Protein Backbone Trace== | |||
<scene name='59/599354/Helix/ | A <scene name='59/599354/Helix/8>smoothed backbone trace</scene> is another common backbone representation. Here, the <font style="background:black;color:#00ff00;"> smoothed backbone trace is green </font>. | ||
<scene name='59/599354/Helix/ | *Here is the <scene name='59/599354/Helix/9'>smoothed backbone trace alone</scene>. | ||
==Ribbon Backbone Trace== | |||
<scene name='59/599354/Helix/10'> | Perhaps the most common backbone representation is the <scene name='59/599354/Helix/10'>ribbon</scene>. Here the <font style="color:#ff0080;"> ribbon is violet </font>, the standard secondary structure color for alpha helices. | ||
