Figure 5. The C-terminal domain of fibritin E. (a) Stereo diagram of the C-terminal domain of a fibritin E subunit. The sidechains shown are those located in the hydrophobic interior formed at the interface between three symmetry-related subunits. The vertical line shows the trimer axis. Atoms are shown in standard colors. (b) Ribbon diagram of the C-terminal domain looking along the trimer axis, each subunit is shown in a different color. (c) Mainchain hydrogen bonds formed within the C-terminal domain of a fibritin E trimer. Parts (a) and (b) were drawn with MOLSCRIPT [43] and RASTER3D [44].
