Summary

This is a crystal structure of human Interleukin-2 (IL-2) as published by Arkin et al. IL-2 has a number of functions from promoting T cell maturation to playing a role in the development of immunological memory. I accessed the data from the Protein Data Bank (PDB: 1M47) and rendered it using Pymol.

For the original data, please see: Arkin, M.A., Randal, M., DeLano, W.L., Hyde, J., Luong, T.N., Oslob, J.D., Raphael, D.R., Taylor, L., Wang, J., Wells, J.A., McDowell, R.S., Wells, J.A., Braisted, A.C.
