Description:
This project uses computer graphics to develop an understanding of structural biology dynamical processes. The graphics illustrate the probable means by which cholera toxin transports an intact protein through a target cell’s external membrane while intoxicating the cell. In this process, cholera toxin recognizes and binds an external membrane-bound receptor, triggering a dynamic change in the structure of the toxin and the membrane; a portion of the toxin and enzyme enter the cell.
