20S Proteasome

 

 

Predicted structure of the 20S proteasome from the methanoarchaeon Methanosarcina thermophila.  The image is an atomic model based on the crystal structure coordinates of 20S proteasomes from Thermoplasma acidophilum and yeast.  The active sites involved in peptide bond hydrolysis are indicated in red. 

 


Thanks to Maria C. Bewley and Dr. John M. Flanagan for their assistance in modeling.
