How Bacteria Makes a Tail
tcbguiuc
152 views
Depicted is the movement of flagellin (in red) through surrounding flagellum (in blue) to the tip of the tail in bacteria. At the tip, the flagellin folds into place to con...

Ribosome-Translocon-Membrane Complex
tcbguiuc
1,612 views
The ribosome, protein factory for all cells, is seen in blue docked to the a protein-conducting channel, the tranlsocon, in gold. The translocon is in the process of inser...

A Molecular Flow Sensor Which Induces Blood Clotting
tcbguiuc
225 views
The movie shows how a peptide chain (in white) connected to a larger protein (via atoms depicted in gold) changes from a disordered loop state to a hairpin shape in respons...

Light Harvesting by Chlorophyll
tcbguiuc
1,181 views
The movie shows how chlorophylls (green and blue structures) within a protein (alpha-helices of the protein shown with gold cylinders) of purple bacteria share energy. In r...

A Bacterial Solar Battery
tcbguiuc
899 views
In some photosynthetic bacteria, spheres smaller than 1/10,000 of a millimeter harvest sunlight to produce energy. Light-harvesting protein complexes (shown in green and re...

New Protein Exiting from a Ribosome
tcbguiuc
616 views
Ribosome (in blue) makes cell proteins that then have to be moved or "translocated" by another protein, SecY (in gray, orange, yellow) across the cell membrane. The movie d...
About TCBG at UIUC
The Theoretical and Computational Biophysics Group, NIH Center for Macromolecular Modeling and Bioinformatics, was founded by Professor Klaus Schulten in 1989 and is located at the Beckman Institute of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The group is led by Professor Klaus Schulten (Physics, Biophysics, Chemistry) with Professors Laxmikant Kale (Computer Science), Zaida Luthey-Schulten (Chemistry) and Alek Aksimentiev (Physics), and with the Resource's assistant director Dr. Emad Tajkhorshid (Biophysics). Research and development activities of the TCBG center on the structure and function of supramolecular systems in the living cell, and on the development of new algorithms and efficient computing tools for structural biology.
