This Protein Image Gallery was assembled using the RCSB's Molecular Model Database, UCSF's Chimera, 3D Jigsaw, AL2TS, CPH Models, and Adobe Photoshop. The source PDB files that lead to the construction of these images are all freely available at the RCSB. RCSB ID codes are listed whenever available in [].

Consensus of protein structures is done by combining a protein sequence alignment with ClustalX 1.83 for Windows 32 environment with Chimera's MatchMaker functionality.
