DromeQC is a <scene name='58/580851/Two_chains/2'>homodimer</scene> consisting of an <span style="font-size:150%"><font color='blue'>A Chain</font></span> and a <span style="font-size:150%"><font color='limegreen'>B Chain</font></span>. This homodimer can also be viewed in <scene name='58/580851/Trace/1'>trace</scene> and <scene name='58/580851/Space_fill/1'>space filling</scene> representations. The backbone of DromeQC can be easily seen as an <scene name='58/580851/N_to_c_rainbow/1'>N to C rainbow</scene>. Here the polypeptide progression is depicted by the following template:

The <scene name='58/580851/Composition/1'>composition</scene> of DromeQC consists of either <span style="font-size:150%">{{Template:ColorKey Composition Protein}}, {{Template:ColorKey Composition Ligand}}</span>, or <span style="font-size:150%">{{Template:ColorKey Composition Solvent}}</span> in which it was crystallized (water). When DromeQC <scene name='58/580851/Secondary/1'>secondary structure</scene> is colour coated <span style="font-size:150%">({{Template:ColorKey_Helix}}, {{Template:ColorKey_Strand}})</span> the global fold may be visualized nicely. This fold is driven by <scene name='58/580851/Polar/1'>hydrophobic/polar</scene> residues. The majority of <span style="font-size:150%">{{Template:ColorKey_Hydrophobic}}</span> residues lie in the interior, consistent with the hydrophobic collapse folding theory. Likewise, most <span style="font-size:150%">{{Template:ColorKey_Polar}}</span> residues reside on the exterior where they contact polar solvent molecules. Similarly, <scene name='58/580851/Charge/1'>charged residues</scene>, either <span style="font-size:150%">{{Template:ColorKey_Charge_Anionic}}</span> or <span style="font-size:150%">{{Template:ColorKey_Charge_Cationic}}</span> appear to cluster on the outside of the protein. From these analyses, it can be seen that a salt bridge connects the two monomers.
