This next view simplifies things, and just shows a <scene name='User:Michael_Roberts/BIOL115_Myo/Secondary_structure/9'>cartoon representation </scene>of the secondary structure of the protein.

You see how the <scene name='User:Michael_Roberts/BIOL115_Myo/Hbonds/1'>hydrogen bonds</scene>that maintain the main secondary structure of the protein are arranged in this next view.

'''PROXIMAL AND DISTAL HISTIDINES''': The iron atom sits either side of the side chains of two <scene name='User:Michael_Roberts/BIOL115_Myo/Heme/4'>histidine residues</scene>.

The iron atom sits either side of the side chains of two <scene name='User:Michael_Roberts/BIOL115_Myo/Heme/4'>histidine residues</scene>.

One of these (coloured cyan) is attached to the iron atom, and is known as the ''proximal'' histidine. The other (green) is called the ''distal'' histidine.

'''OXYGEN''':

The space between the iron and the distal histidine is where the <scene name='User:Michael_Roberts/BIOL115_Myo/Heme/6'>oxygen </scene>binds.

The space between the iron and the distal histidine is where the <scene name='User:Michael_Roberts/BIOL115_Myo/Heme/6'>oxygen</scene> (pink) binds.
