Structural highlights

Kinesin structure is composed of eight anti-parallel B sheets surrounded by three alpha helices on either side

This is a sample scene created with SAT to by Group, and another to make of the protein. You can make your own scenes on SAT starting from scratch or loading and editing one of these sample scenes.
