These are models of the closed and open forms of the T4 bacteriophage DNA clamp. The "open form" occurs when the clamp is being loaded onto DNA by a "clamp loader" complex.
"Enterobacteria phage T4 is a bacteriophage that infects Escherichia coli bacteria."

"The viral gp45 sliding clamp subunit protein contains two domains. Each domain consists of two alpha helices and two beta sheets -? the fold is duplicated and has internal pseudo two-fold symmetry. Three gp45 molecules are tightly associated to form a closed ring encircling duplex DNA."

The models are surface representations derived from PDB entries 1CZD and 3U60:http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/explore/explore.do?structureId=1czdhttp://www.rcsb.org/pdb/explore/explore.do?structureId=3u60
