Figure 1. Ribbon Diagram of and Peptide Binding Groove Electron Density in the H-2L^d Crystal Structure(A) Ribbon diagram of the H-2L^d crystal structure viewed along the peptide-binding groove. The peptide N-terminus is shown oriented toward the viewer. (B) The peptide electron density in the H-2L^d crystal structure. The σ[A]-weighted 2F[o]-F[c] electron density is viewed with the peptide (APAAAAAAM) N-terminus on the right to show the effect of the large polymorphic residues (e.g., Trp73, Trp97, Tyr99) on the peptide conformation. Residues below the peptide from three of the α[1]α[2] domain β-strands and β[2]m (Trp60) form the bottom of the peptide-binding groove. The map is contoured at 1.5σ with a cover radius of 2.5 Å applied.
