Figure 8.
Figure 8. Ribbon views of 20 linker structures seen in crystal and NMR structures of pairs of SCR domains. The most common linker conformations are shown in yellow. Four linker conformations that deviate from the most common ones are denoted by green ribbons and labelled a to d. Four linkers that show less conformational deviations are labelled w to z. The eight residue and three residue linkers are shown in purple and red, respectively. The left-hand view corresponds to the SCR-1 structure of b2GPI, in which the linkers are shown superimposed at the C terminus at Cys58. The right-hand view corresponds to the SCR-2 structure of b2GPI, in which the linkers are superimposed at the N terminus at Cys4.
