FIG. 2. Ribbon representation of the three-dimensional structure of CtCBM11. a, Stereo representation of the overall structure of CtCBM11. The CtCBM11 structure consists of a distorted -jelly roll fold composed of two six-stranded antiparallel -sheets, which form a convex side ( -strands drawn in dark blue) and a concave side ( -strands drawn in light blue). The two calcium ions are indicated as green spheres. The concave side of CtCBM11 forms a cleft. Residues inside the putative binding cleft are shown as ball-and-stick models. Tyrosine residues are represented in red, arginines are in yellow, histidines are in pink, and aspartates are in orange. The picture was drawn with the program MOLMOL (42). b, stereo view of the CtCBM11 cleft, in the same orientation as in a, occupied by the C terminus residues of a symmetry-related molecule. The residues are labeled in red and represented in ball-and-stick. The 2mF[o] - DF[c] electron density map around the molecule is shown in dark blue and contoured at 1.1 . Residues inside the cleft (color code) are shown as ball-and-stick models and labeled blue. The calcium-binding site, Ca1, is represented as a green sphere. The picture was produced with the program TURBO-FRODO (27).
