Cytochrome C is an important protein structure involved in carrying electrons during respiration. To learn more about cytochrome C, visit the RCSB Protein Databank's Molecule of the Month.

The cytochrome C protein structure shown in the interactive window to the right is amino acids 1-100 of the Protein Databank file 3cyt.pdb. When modeled with a 2 meter long Modeling Tie, the scale will be 2cm per amino acid.

Click and drag to rotate the protein structure. Hover your mouse over any atom to display what element it is and what amino acid it is part of.
