Binding Collection (#12)

Transription activation of IFN-beta gene. Computer model showing the molecular structure of an enhanceosome (dark green, purple, blue and red) containing the transcription factors IRF-3

Growth hormone receptor, molecular model
Growth hormone receptor. Molecular model of a growth hormone receptor (orange and beige) bound to a growth hormone molecule (red)

Vitamin B12 and coenzyme molecule
Vitamin B12 and coenzyme. Molecular model of vitamin B12 in its cofactor (active) form. Cofactors are compounds that are bound to a coenzyme

Vancomycin antibiotic action. Computer model showing the secondary structure of the enzyme glycosyltransferase (spirals and ribbons)

Testosterone bound to receptor, artwork
Testosterone bound to receptor. Molecular model of a molecule of the male sex hormone testosterone (ball-and-stick primary structure) bound to a human androgen receptor (secondary structure)

RNA-binding protein, molecular model
RNA-binding protein. Computer model of the RNA-binding protein ACF (APOBEC-1 complementation factor). It is thought that ACF functions as an RNA-binding subunit that docks APOBEC-1 with an RNA

B domain of staphylococcal protein A
B domain of Staphylococcus aureus protein A, molecular model. Protein A is a surface factor found on the membrane of S. aureus bacteria

Protozoan RNA-binding protein complex
RNA-binding protein complex. Computer model showing a guide RNA-binding protein complex (green and blue), bound to guide RNA (gRNA, yellow and red))

mRNA recognition by bacterial repressor. Computer model showing a bacterial protein (green and red) bound to mRNA (messenger ribonucleic acid, purple and brown)

ZP3 glycoprotein molecule
ZP3 glycoprotein. Computer artwork of a molecule of ZP3 (zona pellucida glycoprotein 3), a sperm receptor in the external membrane (zona pellucida) of a female germ cell (egg)

DNA assembly, artwork
DNA assembly. Computer artwork showing nucleic acid bases (upper left) binding together to form a double-helix of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid, lower right)
