In general that's the Ribbon Diagram for representing proteins.."spiral thingys" represent where the sequence adopts alpha-helix secondary structure and the "arrow thingys" represent were the sequence adopts the beta-sheet secondary structure..

Specifically that protein is a mutated Alcohol Dehydrogenase Enzyme...which was used to improve ethanol tolerance in Clostridium thermocellum :biggrin:

Normal Alcohol Dehydrogenase usually has a Zinc atom rather than an Iron atom. Proline in the position 704 and Histidine in the Position 734 were mutated to Leucine and Arginine respectively...
