Figure 2. Three-dimensional structure of [Abu^19,Abu^34]-HsTx1 solved by ^1H-NMR. (A) Amino acid sequence of [Abu^19,Abu^34]-HsTx1 and sequential assignments. X represents the Abu residue that replaces the half-cystine residues. Collected sequential NOEs are classified into strong, medium, and weak NOE, and are indicated by thick, medium, and thin lines, respectively. (B) Stereoviews of the 20 best molecular structures superimposed for best fit. Only backbone atoms are displayed (C[ ], HN, CO) for clarity. (C) Molscript ribbon drawing of the average minimized [Abu^19,Abu^34]-HsTx1 structure. The helix, antiparallel -sheet, C[ ]backbone trace and disulfide bridges are shown in red, blue, yellow, and green, respectively. The six half-cystine residues are indicated with their respective positions.
