Figure 4.
Fig. 4. NMR structure ensembles for (A) Z38 and (B) Z34C. In each case, 24 models are shown aligned using the backbone atoms of residues 10-36. Shown also are the coordinates for residues 7-38 from the^ crystal structure of the B-domain/Fc complex (red) (6). The^ disordered N-terminal residues 1-5 from Z38 are colored gray. Side chains from the hydrophobic core of Z34C are shown (Phe-6, Cys-10, Phe-14, Ala-17, Leu-18, Leu-23, Ile-32, Ile-35, and Cys-39). (C) The minimized mean structure of Z34C showing all side chains colored by amino acid type: hydrophobic (yellow), positively charged^ (blue), negatively charged (red), and polar (green); only those^ that are labeled are well defined in the NMR ensemble with 1^angular order parameters >0.9. Note that only the 1 = 60° orientation for Phe-14 is shown, but this side chain also exists in the 1^ = 180° conformation in solution. (D) Same as C, but rotated 90° with the Fc binding surface on top.
