== | ==Protein Domain Example== | ||
Now lets look at a <scene name='59/599354/Domain/1'>small protein domain</scene> ([[1pgb]]). This domain contains the alpha helix used above, but also contains a small beta sheet made of four beta strands, plus loops (regions that are neither alpha helix nor beta strand) connecting the helices and strands. The helices and strands are represented as ribbons, while the "ropes" connecting them are smoothed backbone traces. | |||
