Figure 1: Overall structure. Front view of the ModB[2]C[2]A complex in ribbon representation, with the ModB subunits coloured yellow and blue, the ModC subunits coloured green and magenta, the binding protein ModA coloured red, and with bound tungstate in van der Waals representation (yellow and blue spheres). The grey box depicts the probable location of the lipid bilayer on the basis of the hydrophobicity of the protein surface. N, amino terminus; C, carboxy terminus. Note that there is a vertical two-fold molecular and non-crystallographic symmetry axis for ModB[2]C[2].
