Figure 1.
Figure 1. Structures of HSA complexed with five different fatty acids. The protein secondary structure is shown schematically and the domains are colour-coded as follows: I, red; II, green, III, blue. The A and B sub-domains are depicted in dark and light shades, respectively. This colour scheme is maintained throughout. Bound fatty acids are shown in a space-filling representation and coloured by atom type (carbon, grey; oxygen, red). Where two fatty acid molecules bind in close proximity, one of them is shown in a darker shade of grey. All Figures were prepared using Bobscript [Esnouf 1997] and Raster3D [Merrit and Bacon 1997].
