Myoglobin - Heme Interactions (RasMol exercise)
The interaction between the myoglobin polypeptide chain and the heme group is explored further with the  of the heme group interacting with the contact residues from the Mb polypeptide chain. Modify the image in other ways using RasMol commands as summarized in the RasMol Guide. The original image can always be restored "manually" or by pressing the browser's "Reload" button.
