Animation of Carbohydrate Mobility in a Glycoprotein

 Lecture Notes | 462a Home


This movie shows the motions of a carbohydrate chain attached to a protein. It is based on the NMR structures of the glycoprotein adhesion domain of Human CD2, which has an immunoglobulin-like domain. The protein chain is gray and the oligosaccharide chain is green. Notice how mobile the oligosaccharide chain is. (Based on Wyss et al. Science 269 1273 (1995)).
