This is a sample scene created with SAT to <scene name="/12/3456/Sample/1">color</scene> by Group, and another to make <scene name="/12/3456/Sample/2">a transparent representation</scene> of the protein. You can make your own scenes on SAT starting from scratch or loading and editing one of these sample scenes.

Revision as of 13:14, 30 December 2014

This Sandbox is Reserved from 15/11/2014, through 15/05/2015 for use in the course "Biomolecule" taught by Bruno Kieffer at the Strasbourg University. This reservation includes Sandbox Reserved 951 through Sandbox Reserved 975.
To get started:
  • Click the edit this page tab at the top. Save the page after each step, then edit it again.
  • Click the 3D button (when editing, above the wikitext box) to insert Jmol.
  • show the Scene authoring tools, create a molecular scene, and save it. Copy the green link into the page.
  • Add a description of your scene. Use the buttons above the wikitext box for bold, italics, links, headlines, etc.

Structure of the "Clostridium botulinum" neurotoxin serotype A light chain with Zn2+ cofactor boundStructure of the "Clostridium botulinum" neurotoxin serotype A light chain with Zn2+ cofactor bound

The Clostridium botulinum neurotoxin produced by the bacteria Clostridium botulinum (and some strains of Clostridium butyricium and Clostridium baratii) is the most lethal toxin known today. Seven serotypically botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) have been found, each of them is categorized into subtypes depending on their amino acid sequence. The protein is initially synthesized as a single polypeptide chain of ≈150 kDa and is then cleaved by a protease to yield the mature toxin, which consists of a light chain (LC which is 50 kDa) and a heavy chain (HC which is 100 kDa). LC and HC are held together by a long peptide belt, non-covalent interactions and a single inter-chain disulphide bond [1]

The "Clostridium botulinum" neurotoxin serotype A light chain (BoNT/A-LC) shown below is composed of 425 residues. It was obtained with high resolution X-ray crystal structure using an inhibitory peptide and the catalytic Zn(II) ion. [2]
