Ribbon Diagram
Ribbon diagrams, also known as Richardson diagrams, are three-dimensional space, 3D schematic representations of protein structure and are one of the most common methods of protein depiction used today. The ribbon depicts the general course and organization of the protein backbone in 3D and serves as a visual framework for hanging details of the entire atomic structure, such as the balls for the oxygen atoms attached to myoglobin's active site in the adjacent figure. Ribbon diagrams are generated by interpolating a smooth curve through the polypeptide backbone. Alpha helix, α-helices are shown as coiled ribbons or thick tubes, Beta sheet, β-sheets as arrows, and non-repetitive coils or loops as lines or thin tubes. The direction of the Peptide, polypeptide chain is shown locally by the arrows, and may be indicated overall by a colour ramp along the length of the ribbon. Ribbon diagrams are simple yet powerful, expressing the visual basics of a molecular structure (twist, fold an ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
