Figure 5. Pathogenic missense mutations in the dystrophin ABD. (a) Stereoview of the environment of Leu54. (b) Stereoview of the 2F[o]-F[c] electron-density map in the region of Leu54. The electron-density map is contoured at 1.0s. (c) Stereoview of the environment of Ala168, Ala171 and Tyr231. The mutated residues are coloured red, with neighbouring hydrophobic sidechains coloured green. (d) Schematic representation of the dystrophin ABD sequence. The upper representation shows the actin-binding and mutation sites and the lower shows the exon boundaries.
