Protein Structure from Scientific Research

Particulate methane monooxygenase (PDB:3RFR) contains a C3 symmetry relating chains A–C, E–G, and I–K, which the previous strategy fails to detect because chains D and H have no symmetry equivalent. Instead, a SymD self-alignment can be used for re-arranging the order of the chains so that the symmetry can be detected.
