Exploring Protein 3D Structure

View the components of a protein (elements, amino acids) in different colors and zoom into several amino acids to understand how they link together to make a larger structure. Using the mouse to drag the protein around, viewing it from different angles, and try "building" the proteins to see how the large molecule folds up to form a particular shape.
