Figure 1. The overall fold of the ncd dimer. (a) Schematic representation of the ncd conformation and of the polypeptide chain with the secondary structure elements visible in the crystal structure, following the nomenclature in [9]. The sequence in the coiled-coil helix is shown below. (b) Stereoview of the C[a] backbone of the Drosophila melanogaster ncd dimer 1. Every twentieth residue and also the N termini (N) and the C termini of the two head domains are labelled. (c) Stereoview of the structure of dimer 1. Helices of the first head domain are coloured in orange and b strands are in light blue. In the second head domain, helices are in red and b strands are dark blue. The MgADP in the active site is shown as a ball-and-stick model. This and the following figures were prepared with the program MOLSCRIPT [32].
