Hello Joel, I like the example of HIV protease, but in this case these Asp residues are found in the active site of the protein, and unless there is substrate (or inhibitor) in the active site, these would be solvent exposed (unless I'm looking at the wrong pair of Asp residues). In the partic

Hi Jarrod, I think these 5 helices are either slightly misplaced, or somewhat disordered. How does the main-chain density look like? Do you see a discrete main-chain, or is the main-chain blurred and does the helix look like a blurred cylinder? If the main-chain is clear, I would take off all s
