FIGURE 1. The crystal structure of rTp34. A, monomeric
structure. A ribbon model of the crystal structure is shown with
secondary structural elements colored purple for -strands,
green for the 3[10] helix, and blue for regions with no regular
secondary structure. Letters of the elements are indicated, as
are the N and C termini of the model. B, dimeric structure. The
bottom monomer is colored as in A and is rotated about 90°
to the left around the vertical axis. The other monomer is
colored tan. Residues that form inner-sphere contacts with the
two interdimeric Zn^2+ ions (orange spheres) are shown as balls
and sticks and are colored according to the monomer from which
they originate; purple for the bottom monomer, and tan for the
top. The liganding interactions are shown as black dashed lines.
