Figure 2. Protein-DNA Contacts
Protein-DNA contacts for the (A) fkh250 and (B) fkh250^con* complexes. The Exd half site is shaded cyan, the Hox half site is shaded red. Hydrogen bonds are represented by solid lines and nonpolar interactions by dotted lines. Interactions involving the protein main chain are underlined. Green circles are visualized water molecules. The fkh250 complex has more water-mediated contacts from residues such as Gln50, which is oriented differently in the two complexes, and Trp-17, which is positioned identically in the two complexes.
