Figure 1.
Figure 1 (A) RIBBONS (Carson, 1991) representation of the OspC-HB19 dimer. The two monomers are colored red and green, respectively. The close proximity of the two inner most helices indicates that it is a tight dimer. (B) Topology diagram of the OspC-HB19 monomer. Red cylinders represent -helices and green arrows -strands. (C) The dimeric interface. Residues interacting across the 2-fold axis are shown as a ball-and-stick model. For clarity only 1 and 1' helices are shown. (D) Superposition of Borrelia OspC-HB19 (green) and Salmonella AR (magenta) monomers. The r.m.s.d. between 122 aligned C atoms is 3.0 Å. Alignment was carried out with SCOP (Murzin et al., 1995).
