Figure 2.
Figure 2. a, Ribbon drawing of the ArgRBst-C hexamer, viewed along the local threefold symmetry axis. Bound arginine molecules are drawn as ball-and-stick models. b, Ribbon drawing of the ArgRBst-C hexamer with bound arginines, viewed along a dyad symmetry axis, perpendicular to the view in (a). c, Superposition of C atoms for the apo-ArgRBst core hexamer (pink and green trimers) and the ArgRBst-C core hexamer (blue). Only the bottom (pink) trimer of the ArgRBst core hexamer was used to perform the superposition (r.m.s. difference of 1 Å). The view is the same as in (a). d, Superposition as in (c), except viewed along a dyad axis, as in ( b). Figs 2, 3a,b, and 4 were prepared using RIBBONS^33.
