FIGURE 5. Crystal structure of trimeric NCRD bound to maltotriose. Ribbon representation of protein viewed perpendicular to axis of neck domain, each subunit colored differently. Maltotriose is shown as a ball-and-stick model and calcium ions as green spheres. Maltotriose is bound in the same orientation in each subunit. However, the interaction of the trisaccharide with calcium ion 1 and the binding surface is most clearly shown in the cyan subunit at left.
