Figure 6. Comparison of surface charges in D. Tok Pol and RB69 Pol. Accessible-surface representation of (a) D. Tok Pol and (b) RB69 Pol in the same orientation after superposition of their palm subdomains. Surface regions corresponding to the terminal oxygen atoms of aspartate and glutamate are colored red, whereas surface regions contributed by the sidechain nitrogen of lysines and arginines are colored blue. D. Tok Pol has a striking pairing of oppositely charged residues not seen in RB69 pol. A representation of D. Tok Pol as a worm is included for orientation.
