Figure 2. Fit of the crystal structures, shown as C traces, into the cryoEM density. (a) The short tail fiber gp12 (magenta) and a part of gp11 (cyan) are viewed as area A in Figure 1. (b) gp9 (green), viewed as area B in Figure 1. An intermediate and two extreme directions of the long tail fiber, as suggested by the orientations of the gp9 trimer, are shown as green, red and blue lines, respectively. The orientation of the tail axis is vertical and is situated behind the display.
