The challenge of larger protein machines. The motor domain of dynein, a microtubule-based motor protein belonging to the AAA family of enzymes, is shown, colored by domain (3VKH). The entire dynein heavy chain is considerably larger and is difficult to produce in quantities required for structural biology studies. For comparison, DHFR (1RX2) and CypA (2CPL) are shown to scale.
