Hi all,
I wanted to practice posting the image of a protein, so I looked for a protein with a name that might suggest a sense of humor. I found Tubby… a very important protein involved in the development of the nervous system. They have named a whole topology after “him”. I oriented him using Protein Workshop so he sort of has a wink and a smile. What do you think?
Tubby classification
| PDB ID | Class | Architecture | Topology |
| 1c8z | Alpha Beta | Alpha-Beta Barrel | Tubby Protein; Chain A |
PS The color of the chain, running from blue toward red, corresponds to the direction of the sequence, from N-terminus toward C-terminus.
It’s very colorful!!!
