Figure 3. (a) Superimposition of C^α traces of DPLA[2] (thick lines) and VPLA[2] (thin lines). The r.m.s. difference for the C^α atoms is 1.2 Å. The corresponding shifts for the neurotoxic (55–61 and 85–94), and anticoagulant (53–77) fragments are 1.8 Å and 1.3 Å, respectively. (b) Protruding side-chains of basic residues for the anticoagulant site.
