Fig. 2. Ribbon and surface representations of CBM6. a, view showing the ligand-binding cleft (cleft A) formed by the loops between the two -sheets of the sandwich fold. b, surface representation of CBM6 in the same orientation as in a. The shallow binding cleft on top of the globular molecule is formed by Tyr-34 and Trp-92. c, ribbon representation of CBM6 in a perpendicular view with respect to a, showing the second possible cleft (cleft B), which is obstructed by a short loop in CBM6, situated on the concave face of the -sheet sandwich. a and c were produced with Molscript (45) and Raster3D (46), whereas b was produced using GRASP (47).
