1A6A1

1A6A1 refers to a specific structure deposited in the Protein Data Bank (PDB). The PDB is a worldwide repository of three-dimensional structural data of large biological molecules, such as proteins and nucleic acids. Each entry in the PDB is assigned a unique identifier, which in this case is 1A6A1. This identifier allows researchers to access and study the detailed structural information of the molecule.

The PDB entry 1A6A1 likely contains crystallographic or NMR data that describes the atomic coordinates of the molecule. This information is crucial for understanding the molecule's shape, how it interacts with other molecules, and its function within a biological system. Scientists use PDB data to investigate protein folding, enzyme mechanisms, drug design, and many other areas of molecular biology and biochemistry.

To find out more about the specific biological molecule represented by 1A6A1, one would typically search the Protein Data Bank database using this identifier. The associated entry would provide details such as the name of the protein or nucleic acid, its source organism, the experimental method used to determine the structure, and citations to the relevant scientific publications. This structural information is a fundamental resource for advancing scientific knowledge.
