Figure 3.
Fig. 3. Extent and sequence conservation of the dimer interface. (a) View of the concave side of a decorin monomer. Residues that are buried from solvent in the dimer are shown in orange. (b) Two-dimensional representation of the surface residues at the concave side of class I SLRPs. Yellow, residues fully conserved in all three SLRPs; green, partially conserved residues; black outline, the footprint of the decorin dimerization interface. The relative positions and directions of the 14 -strands that form the concave side -sheet are indicated.
