Ankyrin Repeat Domain

thingiverse

The ankyrin repeat is a motif of 33 amino acid residues found in proteins, consisting of two alpha helices separated by loops. First discovered in yeast Cdc10 and Drosophila Notch signaling proteins, domains with ankyrin repeats facilitate protein-protein interactions and are among the most common structural motifs in known proteins. The 3D model of this domain is based on the Protein Data Bank entry 1K1A, while the STL file was created using VMD software. This object was successfully printed by a Replicator 2 with PLA material and MakerWare 2.2.2.89, using standard resolution (3 shells, 25% infill), along with raft and supports.
