Figure 6. Comparison of X-ray and NMR structures of the individual ninth and tenth modules of human and mouse FnFn3(9,10). (a) The ensemble of 20 accepted NMR structures, with the core residues of the ninth and tenth modules used to independently align the respective coordinates of the individual modules. (b) MolMol [Koradi et al 1996] ribbon drawing of the average NMR structure of the ninth module (upper) and the tenth module (lower). The average NMR structure of the ninth module (upper) was calculated by aligning the coordinates of its core residues, and the average NMR structure of the tenth module (lower) was calculated in analogous fashion; the diagonal double bars between the upper (ninth) and lower (tenth) module structures in (a) and (b) are to emphasize that the alignments were carried out separately for the two modules. (c) MolMol [Koradi et al 1996] ribbon drawing of the X-ray structure of hFnFn3(9,10) illustrating the homologous structures of the ninth (upper) and tenth (lower) modules. (d), (e) Comparison of Δφ and Δ , the differences between the NMR and X-ray φ, (d), and , (e), angles. The NMR φ, angles are the average φ, angles calculated from the 20 accepted NMR structures. In general the values of Δφ and Δ are inversely correlated with the number of NOE restraints per residue (Figure 8(a).
