Figure 1.
Crystal structure of SPARC FS-EC ΔαC bound to a 33-residue collagen peptide (stereoview). The FS and EC domains of SPARC are in green and cyan, respectively. Disulphide bridges are in pale pink, the glycan attached to N99 is in gray, and a calcium ion is shown as a purple sphere. The collagen peptide is shown as a Cα ribbon (leading chain, yellow; middle chain, orange; trailing chain, red). The chain termini, selected helices and the location of the αC deletion are labeled.
