Figure 8.
FIGURE 8. Superimposition of maltose and maltotriose bound to the SP-D CRD. The protein model shows the maltotriose complex. Maltose is shown as a green stick model (with rings labeled G1–2 in green) and maltotriose as a magenta stick model (with rings labeled G1–3 in magenta). The maltose was aligned by least squares superimposition of residues in this region using the structure of Protein Data Bank accession number 1PWB. Some of the hydrogen bonds between protein and maltotriose are shown by green dashed lines.
