[edit] Summary

Sensory rhodopsin II (1gue.pdb) embedded in the membrane with transducin (1got.pdb) under it. Rhodopsin is colored in a rainbow with the N-terminus red and the C-terminus blue. There is a bound retinal on the inside that I've colored black for ease of visualization. For the transducin, the Gt-alpha subunit is red, beta is blue and gamma is yellow. I've drawn in pseudo anchoring sites in black. The Gt-alpha subunit has a bound GDP that is colored by atom.

The protein structures were created using UCSF chimera and then placed together in adobe illustrator. This illustration is entirely my own using the publicly available pdb data. I'm releasing it into the public domain since I couldn't find any nice illustrations of a rhodopsin and transducin.
