The viewer may first wish to focus on a <scene name='86/865933/Unit_a/5'>single subunit of the complex</scene>. The <scene name='86/865933/Labeled_ligand/2'>ligand</scene> is shown as spacefilling in this model.  
As an example of the'''[[:Category:Alternate Renderings|Alternate Renderings (AR)]]''' Overarching Theme learning goal, is AR1: “Students can create meaningful molecular images to convey features such as secondary structure, CPK coloring, active sites and molecular interactions.” A specific learning objective within this goal is AR1.04: “students can infer information from rendering a structure in different ways.”
 
Given the structure of 5-methylthioribose 1-phosphate(MTRu-1-P) isomerase bound to MTRu-1-P (PDB ID: 2yvk chain A), use Jmol (or another molecular visualization tool such as Chimera or PyMOL) to identify the amino acids in the protein that interact with the ligand.
 
To show mastery of this assessment, the learner will first focus on <scene name='86/865933/Unit_a/5'>subunit A of the complex</scene>. The <scene name='86/865933/Labeled_ligand/2'>ligand</scene> is shown as spacefilling in this model.
