Figure 2.
Fig. 2. Ribbon model of the MIP synthase tetramer in the absence of inhibitor. This and all other structure figures were made using the program RIBBONS (55). The top two monomers are colored red and blue, make up one asymmetric unit, and are related by a noncrystallographic 2-fold axis that is roughly in the plane of the page. The bottom two monomers are green and are related to the top two monomers by a crystallographic 2-fold axis running roughly perpendicular to the page.
