Figure 1.
Schematic representation of the structure of the thermophilic ankyrin repeat protein tANK (Protein Data Base ID code 2RFM). Five ARs (AR1–AR5), each comprising a loop, a β-turn, and two sequential α-helices form the elongated structure, extended by an α-helical N terminus are shown. Side chains of the wild-type fluorescence probes Trp-71 and Trp-104 are indicated as sticks. The figure was created by using MOLMOL (34).
