Animation of Protein Folding

This is the E. coli major cold shock protein, CspA. This folding pathway is completely fictitious. Animation from the Gregoret Lab; animation by Hector Rodriguez; image by Lydia Gregoret. The structure of CspA was solved by Hermann Schindelin and coworkers (PNAS, 91:5119-5123, 1994). The coordinates for the cold shock protein (ID code "1mjc") may be retrieved from the Brookhaven Protein Data Bank.
