Figure 2. The Crystal Structure of the MMLV RT and a Comparison with the p66 Subunit of the HIV-1 RT(A) A ribbon rendering of the MMLV RT is shown with the fingers domain in red, palm in blue, thumb in green, connection in yellow, and the RNase H in magenta.(B) A structural comparison of the MMLV RT monomer is shown in the same color scheme as in (A) with the p66 subunit of HIV-1 RT shown in gray. The structures were superimposed using the highly conserved structural elements in the palm domains. In contrast to the rather extended p66 subunit of HIV-1 RT, the MMLV RT is a far more clamp-shaped molecule.
