Protein Modeling/Apoptosis

The 2012 topic of Protein Modeling deals with cell apoptosis. The pre-build model is of caspase-3.

See the CBM webpage for more details.

Caspase-3
Caspase-3 is a cysteine-aspartic acid protease, known as an "executioner" protein because of the direct role it plays in dismantling other cell proteins during apoptosis. It is inhibited by XIAP, and it acts upon PARP, among other proteins.
