Cn3D is a helper application for your web browser that allows you to view 3-dimensional structures from NCBI's Entrez retrieval service. Cn3D runs on Windows, Macintosh, and Unix. Cn3D simultaneously displays structure, sequence, and alignment, and now has powerful annotation and alignment editing features. Below is a relatively simple sample of what Cn3D can do. There are many more examples in the Tutorial, along with instructions to help new users get started!
This example is a curated CD of the WD40 domain, which is a multi-functional 7-fold beta propeller. Cn3D is showing a representative protein structure, the family alignment, and annotation panels with information about annotated features of this protein family. Highlighted in both structure and sequence windows are the conserved residues in a pattern characteristic to this domain.
