Conformations of Thiamine diphosphate in protein structuresBelow you will find a JMOL applet of the superimosed molecules of Thiamine diphosphate. There is one applet for each PDB HET code that is associated with this cofactor. The structures have been clustered by their pairwise distance (RMSD) and each cluster has a different colour. The clustering algorithm is described in reference [KGS]. These applets illustrate the conformational space that the cofactor has when bound to the protein. The superposition has been performed on the most rigid part (aromatic ring structures where possible). This information is even more useful when combined with the solvent accessibility analysis. If you cannot see the applet(s), you first have to install a Java browser plugin that can display JMOL applets. Just follow your browser's instructions. Structures for HET code TDP
