On the right-hand side of this page is a view of a protein structure shown using the Jmol viewer within [http://proteopedia.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page Proteopedia]. [http://wiki.jmol.org:81/index.php/Main_Page Jmol] is an easy way to view protein structures. Use the left mouse button to rotate the protein model, the middle mouse button or scroll wheel to zoom in and out (option-click on a Mac), and the right mouse button for more options and information (control-click on a Mac).

If we view the bonds in the protein in stick format, showing just the <scene name='User:J._Shaun_Lott/BIOSCI_203/Backbone_hbonds_3/2'>backbone atoms</scene>, we can easily see the backbone H-bond patterns that are distinctive for α-helices and β-sheets.

Now let’s look more closely at the hORF structure to see if we can identify what local features of the protein structure may influence the ability of the active site cysteine to ionize.
