Figure 3: Overall architecture of the FGF1-FGFR2-heparin complex. a, Electrostatic potential of the heparin-binding site in the FGF1-FGFR2-heparin complex, mapped onto a molecular surface rendition of the complex. The heparin is shown as a stick model. In the ternary complex, the heparin decasaccharide is surrounded by regions of positive charge (blue represents +20e per Å 2). b, Superposition of heparin-linked FGF1 dimers. The dimer from the FGF1-FGFR2-heparin complex is yellow, the PDB entry 2AXM is blue. The FGFR2 ectodomains are shown in CPK representation.
