Figure 2. Cross sections of the two dimers near residue 38. (a) Section of the Len dimer perpendicular to the twofold axis between the domains. Gln38 of each monomer forms hydrogen bonds with the other monomer's Gln38 across the twofold axis. (b) Section of the LenQ38E dimer perpendicular to the twofold axis between the domains, illustrating the complementarity of the domains. Internal water molecules connect each Tyr36 to carbonyls of residues 44. The closest distance between charged residues Lys30 and Glu38 is 11 å.
