Learn how to use Swiss-PdbViewer. Work through sections 1-4 of the Swiss-PdbViewer Tutorial.

Topic: Cofactors and Such

Under construction. Last revision 2006/10/27.

This page contains links to PDB models of proteins with bound ligands of all types, including cofactors, prosthetic groups, inhibitors, and metal ions, and in some cases, substrates. These molecules listed in HETATM lines of PDB files, and are sometimes called HETATM or HET groups. This term has come to refer to any non-protein component of a protein model.

To use DeepView to see the ligand in the protein model listed, use the File:Import command and enter the PDB code listed in the left column.

To see some other tools for viewing and analyzing structure, click the PDB code in the left column. On the PDB Structure Summary page, find Chemical Component, and click on Ligand Interaction to see the ligand and analyze its contacts with the protein. The graphics viewers are Java applets, so your computer needs to have up-to-date Java tools.

TEACHERS: Looking for good subjects for graphics projects? USM Biochemistry students have successfully used all of the models listed here in Assignment 1 in the DeepView Tutorial.
