These representational images of molecular structures are created using MolScript and Raster3D software. Similar images are available for every structure in the Protein Data Bank. The representation of color and space is used to emphasize the three-dimensional nature of these structures. The color gradient from the beginning to the end of the structure provides a sense of the molecule's orientation. The use of ribbons or cylinders highlights the spiral shapes contained within a structures (known as helices). The arrows indicate short pleated sections of the proteins (known as sheets). Send requests for additional images and other general questions about image availability to info@rcsb.org.
Image 1
The structure of DNA in its most common configuration (B-form).
Image 2
Myoglobin, the first protein structure to be determined at high resolution.
Image 3
Structure of a portion of the bovine prion protein, a molecule associated with mad cow disease.
Image 4
Structure of the largest of the two subunits of the ribosome – the 'protein factory' of the cell.
