The HammerHead Ribozyme Structure for Molecular Biology The RNA HammerHead Complex.
Model Of A Hypothesized Hammerhead Ribozyme Conformational Change. The two subunits of the hammer head symmetric dimer are shown using the Backbone display. The RNA longer sise element is grey; the self-cleavage region is purple; and the short RNA module is red backbone color.

Viewing tips:
Use the buttons to the right of the image to show only portions of the structure; then use the Chime menu to display or color the molecule. The rotate buttons act on the entire structure. Remove the distance monitors with a second click.
