FIGURE 1. Crystal structure of rat CBG. A and B, ribbon representation of rat CBG viewed from two different angles. Secondary structure elements are named according to the common serpin nomenclature. The -sheets A, B, and C are colored in red, green, and blue, respectively. The trace of the residues of the RCL not visible in electron density maps (residues 329-338) is modeled by a dashed line. The steroid (cortisol) is bound on top of sheet B and shown in yellow. C, close-up of cortisol in the steroid-binding site. D, representative portion of the final [A]-weighted 2F[o] - F[c] electron density map contoured at 1.0 and showing cortisol with the surrounding residues Arg^10 and Trp^362.
