'''Amino acid trace'''

Here's a much more simplified view that <scene name='70/703491/Basic_representations/4~~<scene name='70/703491/Basic_representations/5~~'>~~Text To Be Displayed</scene>'>traces~~ the ~~chains~~</scene> of amino acids that make up the protein. Now we can see much more clearly the start and end of each chain (there are 3 chains in chymotrypsin, each coloured differently in this view), and how they are interwoven in the 3D structure. But this is now simplified too much to understand the details of the structure!

Here's a much more simplified view that <scene name='70/703491/Basic_representations/4'>shows a trace of the backbone</scene> of the amino acids that make up the protein. Now we can see much more clearly the start and end of each chain (there are 3 chains in chymotrypsin, each coloured differently in this view), and how they are interwoven in the 3D structure. But this is now simplified too much to understand the details of the structure!

One question this view does raise, is how the three separate chains are held together in the right way? The answer is the <scene name='70/703491/Basic_representations/5'>presence of disulphide bridges</scene> that link the chains together to form the correct overall structure.
