Figure 2. A stereoscopic view of the two positions of the mobile W131 loop observed in GM2-AP3. The stick models are color-coded blue for monomer A with the loop in the exposed position, and magenta for monomer C with the loop folded in making contact with hydrophobic residues (shown in yellow). The broken line indicates the invariant hydrogen bond between the carbonyl oxygen atom of T133 and the OH group of Y137, and the arrow points at the C^a-CO bond of T133, serving as a flexible hinge with the C-terminal T134 fixed. The Figure was generated with DINO.
