Carboxypeptidase A - Three Exercises with Chime:
Cross-indexing terms: Carboxypeptidase; protein structure; enzyme active site;
carboxypeptidase A; carboxypeptidase enzyme; active site; quiz question interface.
In this tutorial, students will be looking at the enzyme Carboxypeptidase A using the
Chemscape Chime plug-in. This plug-in is very similar in functionality to Rasmol - an
interactive Molecular Visualisation program. A previous version (still available) of this tutorial
was designed to use the RasMol program as a web helper application.We have attempted to
design the Chime version of these tutorials so that students will also feel comfortable using
RasMol afterwards if they wish to. In order to use the Rasmol interactive program effectively,
you must type in many of the commands at the Rasmol prompt in the command window.We
have preserved this interactivity by creating a 'command line' text box in which you can send
commands to theChime Plug-in. Many thanks go to Eric Martz (creator of the RasMol/Chime
website) for providing usefulJavaScript examples which showed us how to do this. The tutorials
also contain interactive questions which employ JavaScript to check the answers. There are
three exercises in the tutorial. The first serves as an introduction to the use of Chime, a second
which looks primarily at the secondary structure of proteins, and a third which explores the
active site of Carboxypeptidase.

This site provides a 3D structure primer on cytochrome P450. The initial page includes 37
images made as RasMol scripts and embedded in a Chime template for interactive viewing.
These images start at the bare PDB output for P450 cam (CYP101) and move to more and more
detail on P450 structure. This includes a tour of the conserved motifs in the more than 2500
P450 sequences known. Each motif is visited with the intent of understanding what the
conserved residues are doing in the structure of the protein. This is rather like walking around
in a big version of the molecule to see how it is put together. This approach frequently leads to
charge pairs critical to the protein fold and sometimes to charge triads. Some images are from
CYP2C5, a mammalian P450 with motifs absent in the bacterial P450s. The 3D pages are part
of a larger Cytochrome P450 homepage, in operation since 1995 at this same URL. Page

Large Ribosomal Subunit Tour for Specialists:
Cross-indexing terms: ribosome, large subunit for specialists; RNA, ribosomal;
rRNA; translation; ribozyme.
An extensive, Chime-based tour of the Archaeal Large Ribosomal Subunit for specialists. The
full tour requires Netscape Communicator (Navigator) 4.5-4.7 but there is a sample tour that
covers the key features that works with Chime in other browsers on computers running
Microsoft Windows. The full tour interface has been designed with the issues that the large
coordinate data files entail in mind. Be aware that you need a good connection to the internet
for this to work and not be frustrating. Several of the structure files used in the tour are in
excess of 1 Mb.

with the help of computer modeling. It focuses on analysis of molecular structures and shows
how to create images that help to illustrate important features of macromolecules. The tutorial
also teaches that biological macromolecules come in very different shapes and sizes.
The tutorial also teaches a few technical skills that are commonly used while working with
computer visualization programs. First, it shows some typical capabilities of the visualization
programs SYBYL and RasMol. It also teaches about image capture and manipulation programs
on SGI workstations, and shows how one can send images created on an UNIX computer to
other people.
The tutorial assumes access to modeling programs SYBYL and RasMol. The tutorial is part of a
formal coursework for biochemistry majors at UCSB.

are removed. The hydrophobic interactions, hydrgen bonding, and ionic interactions can be
color coded. Monitors (lines) indicating hydrogen bonds and salt bridges can be toggled on and
off. A simple rigid body animation shows how ATP might move into this site from solution.

(using two Chime windows next to each other). Each class of MHC is also explored in depth
individually. Close attention to binding pockets and specificity of binding. Use of surface
representations to illustrate binding clefts and anchor pockets. Smooth transitions between
views show their relationships clearly. The interface is easy to use for students and novices, but
advanced users can modify the images with menus, or enter Chime commands.

Cross-indexing terms: hydrogen bonds, finding; hydrophobic interactions, finding;

At MolviZ.Org: The NonCovalent Bond Finder is a Chime-based tool for finding and
displaying the atoms closest to any moiety of interest ("target") in any molecule. After loading
your molecule and selecting the target atom or atoms, simply pressing a button labeled "Find"
displays the atoms within 2.5 Angstroms of the target. Repeated presses of the "Find" button
move out in 0.1 Angstrom increments, highlighting newly found atoms with dot surfaces. The
starting distance and step size are configurable. The "find only" and "don't find" options enable,
for example, only hydrogen bonds, or only hydrophobic interactions to be visualized in a given
cycle. A detailed tutorial is provided, using the binding of a nonapeptide to a major
histocompatibility protein as an example. Here is a snapshot of the NCBF in action.
Downloadable for off-line use, local installation or modification.

Porin Proteins (at The Online Macromolecular Museum):
Cross-indexing terms: OMPF; Maltoporin; LamB Porin; Porins; lambda receptor.
The porin superfamily contains a number of homotrimeric, transmembrane proteins that
form water-filled pores across the outer cell membranes of gram-negative bacteria. Porins
allow bacterial cells to interact with their environment through the passive diffusion of
small, hydrophillic solutes across bacterial membranes. OMPF (outer membrane protein
f) is among the most general E. coli porins. Maltoporin, also known as the LamB porin, is
among the best studied examples of the substrate-specific porins. It is responsible for the
guided diffusion of maltose and maltodextrins. Maltoporin is also one of the many porins
that contains a bacteriophage recognition sequence. It was identified as the E. coli
receptor for phage lambda before its role in the translocation of sugar was discovered.
This Chime-based exhibit explores the structure-function relationships of OMPF and
Maltoporin.

Choose any molecule, and explore it in Chime. Protein Explorer makes the power of Chime
easy to use. The initial molecular image is maximally informative, and is explained for novices
by the FirstView screen. The QuickViews menus and buttons enable powerful visualization by
novices without use of RasMol-style commands (but Protein Explorer accepts all RasMol
commands should you know any). Every operation is explained with color keys where
appropriate. Much easier to use yet more powerful than RasMol, Protein Explorer includes
MENU options for selection by chain, rendering of surfaces and contact surfaces, hiding
portions of the structure, automated tools for distinguishing DNA from RNA, centering, and
coloring by ATCGU or hydrophobicity/polarity. The amino acid or nucleotide sequence can be
clicked to locate residues in the 3D structure (Seq3D). Snapshots offer a quick preview. See

Choose any molecule, and explore it in Chime. Protein Explorer makes advanced capabilities of
Chime easy to use. The Contact Surfaces form produces overviews of noncovalent bonds at
interfaces, which can be rendered as solid or transparent surfaces. Cation-pi interactions and
salt bridges can be displayed. The Noncovalent Bond Finder makes easy a detailed exploration
of hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic interactions, and water bridges. Ensembles of models (as from
NMR or morphs) can be played as a movie with custom rendering and coloring. Molecules can
be colored to indicate conservation or mutation frequency based on multiple protein sequence
alignments (MSA3D). A nonvolatile "expert" preference setting bypasses help for novices.See

2. the beta subunit dimer (human)
3. the holoenzyme tetramer (human)
Each tutorial consists of a narrative description accompanied by integrated Chime animations
that illustrate the major points. The animations, intitated by clicking buttons, can be viewed
with minimal viewer interaction, but the user can also manipulate the structures via the Chime
pop-up menu. (Note: The stereo mode has been set to cross-eyed rather than default wall-eyed
to facilitate viewing in stereo on screen).

'Rubisco: a first look at the mechanism' is an experiment in molecular visualisation using an
innovative framing approach to CHIME based tutorials. Exploring the mechanism of 'the
world's most abundant enzyme', throws light on why the Rubisco is also one of the slowest
enzymes (turnover rate of 3 /sec). After consulting the excellent Chime demonstration of the
structure of Rubisco and having a look at Schreudr.kin, you begin an interactive Chime tutorial.
The tutorial looks in detail at: changes to the substrate RuBP; activation of Rubisco;
coordination at the metal site; loop 6 and the N-terminus of neighbouring L chain; changes
round the P1 and P2 sites; access to the active site; the contribution of loop 6; access to the
active site; the neighbouring L subunit; the reason for isolating the active site? the timing of
active site closure; the role of the small subunit S and other issues. A formulation of the
mechanism outlined in the publications of I. Andersson et al (e.g.J. Mol. Biol. 259, 160-174) is
compared with the formulation published in Cleland et al (Chem. Rev. 98, 549-561). The
tutorial, which requires substantial time, was originally written under the auspices of PPS99.
Constructive feedback is welcome. The tutorial works either with Netscape 4 or IE6 and Chime
2.6 SP4.

This tutorial was created in order to demonstrate how a single nucleotide substitution in one of
the beta-globin chains of human hemoglobin leads to the disease, sickle cell anemia. The
Biology Workbench is used to align a "normal" or "wildtype" beta-globin sequence with a
mutated or sickle cell sequence to show the location of the mutation. The Protein Explorer
program is then used to identify the affected amino acid in the beta-globin protein chain and to
visualize how the mutation changes the structure and conformation of the hemoglobin
molecule. Chime version 2.0.3 is needed on PCs and version 2.0a for Macs.

Signal Recognition Particle Core (at The Online Macromolecular Museum):
Cross-indexing terms: signal recognition; protein targeting; SRP.
In both eukaryotes and prokaryotes, a signal recognition particle (SRP) is responsible for
recognizing and binding to a signal sequence at the amino terminus of a growing,
membrane-bound protein. This is essential for targeting the protein to the membrane.
This exhibit focuses on the structure of the SRP core of E. coli, which represents an
evolutionarily preserved core of the SRP in all organisms.

Student Webpapers: The Structure-Function Relationships for the Enzymes in the
Glycolytic and Lactate Fermentation Pathways.:
Cross-indexing terms: glycolysis; gluconeogenesis; lactate fermentation;
Classroom use of Chime; lesson plan.
Students taking Chem406 at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire are required to write a
Web termpaper (Webpaper) that reviews the structure-function relationships of a protein.
Chem406 is a biophysical chemistry course that is required of undergraduate students majoring
in Biochemistry/Molecular Biology. For the Fall 1999 semester the students were assigned
enzymes from the glycolytic, gluconeogenesis, and lactate fermentation pathways. The students
were required to use Chime images to illustrate their papers and to use JavaScript buttons to
modify these images in context with the narrative of their paper. We have found Web page
authoring with Chimes to be a powerful tool for teaching students about the structure/function
relationships of proteins. The homepage for this site contains two links: one to the detailed
assignment that was given to the students, the other to a figure showing the metabolic pathways
involved. Each enzyme named in this figure provides a link to a student Webpaper. These are
student-authored reports, unedited by faculty, consequently the quality and accuracy does vary.
All together there are 12 Webpapers with a average of three Chimes per Webpaper. The
specific enzymes covered include:

from E. coli. Both structures are superimposed in a single PDB file which is downloaded to the
left frame. Apo vs. holo forms are selected by toggling push buttons, and the trp operator DNA
can also be toggled on and off. The site was designed to make it possible to easily compare
these structures, and to illustrate one of few examples where the structural basis for ligandactivation of a DNA-binding protein has been clearly elucidated using crystal structure analysis.

The Large Ribosomal Subunit: a structure/function tutorial:
Cross-indexing terms: protein synthesis; enzyme mechanism; translation; rRNA;
tRNA; ribosome.
By this point, the ribosome should be a familiar object in your biochemistry/biology education
because all life as we know it requires a ribosome to construct proteins. The peptide bond
formation it catalyzes is rather simple; however, the complete molecule must also read mRNA
codons, and bind 3 tRNA molecules. This accounts, in part, for the large size of the molecule.
Unfortunately, much of the mechanism remains a mystery. In a series of papers published in
2000, researchers have determined the structure of the large subunit to a great degree of
accuracy, and have proposed specific residues which catalyze the peptide bond formation in
large subunit. In this tutorial, we will examine the large subunit, and in doing so, will address
three related questions. Which of the components of the large subunit comprise the active site,
where is that site located, and how does it work? This tutorial uses the Chime plugin to
visualize the three dimensional structure of the ribosome and to animate the mechanism of
peptide formation.

XdomView (Version 2.1)
A Chime-based Graphical Tool for Protein Domain and Exon
Position Visualization
XdomView is a chime-based visualization tool that maps the
domain boundaries of the input PDB chain, obtained from protein
structure classification databases (CATH, SCOP, NCBI, 3DEE
and DALI) to its tertiary structure. It also runs BLAST2 for the
input PDB chain sequence against all protein sequences in the
ExInt* database and maps the intron positions and phases of
aligned search results on the input protein's 3D structure. Xdom is
a useful visualization tool for scientists working on gene and
protein evolution and structural modeling and classification.

Zinc Binuclear Clusters:
Cross-indexing terms: transcription activator; zinc finger; BioEditor.
Zinc binuclear clusters are motifs found in transcriptional regulatory proteins in fungi. An early
zinc binuclear cluster was originally thought to be similar to previously described zinc fingers,
with four cysteines forming a tetrahedral zinc binding site. Subsequent structural studies strated
that the zinc binuclear cluster consists of 6 cysteine residues that are bound to two zinc atoms.
This documentary includes text, images, sequence and structural data and molecular
visualizations to describe representative members of this family. It is presented in the BioEditor
software package.
