Launch ↗ Protein Builder
A protein begins as a chain of amino acids, but the order of those amino acids decides how the chain folds, and the folded shape decides what the protein can do. Chains coil and pleat into local structures, pack into a three dimensional form, and sometimes join with other chains. Here you build a protein and follow it through those levels of structure.
