NMDA receptor ribbon structure - PDB 6WHT

thingiverse

This thing is a work in progress, it is unclear that it will print successfully. I have designed it to be printed on the Formlabs Fuse 1 printers, which can do very detailed prints. It probably will not be printable with an FDM printer because it would have to be too larger. Maybe with SLA if you're feeling adventurious. NMDA receptor ribbon structure PDB 6WHT: GluN1b-GluN2B NMDA receptor in active conformation at 4.4 angstrom resolution See the PDB structurew 6WHT at https://www.rcsb.org/structure/6WHT On UCSF Chimera I did several things to make it more printable. - The ribbons are thicker - The hydrogen bonds are shown as sticks - The dysulfide bonds are shown as sticks - In several places by visual inspection where two different chains come close I added a distance pseudobond and rendered it as sticks To easily add the distance pseudobond via command, use the a command like: ``` distance #0:831.B@CA #0:558.D@CA ``` This creates a distance bond between the carbon alpha (CA) of residue 831 in chain B of model 0 and the carbon alpha of residue 558 in chain B of model 0 (usually there is only one model if there is only one loaded PDB structure)
