Exploring the Structure

PDB entry 1f9j shows how ubiquitin molecules are strung together into chains. The crystal was grown with tetraubiquitin (four proteins strung together), but the connection was only observed between two ubiquitin molecules in the structure. If you look closely, you can see the unusual connection between the last glycine amino acid in chain A and the sidechain of lysine number 148 in the middle of chain B.

A list of all ubiquitin entries in the PDB as determined by a FASTA search on December 1, 2004 is available here. For additional information on ubiquitin, click here.
