Figure 3.
Figure 3. Stereo view illustrations showing comparisons of the pH 2 insulin dimer (green) with the dimer of (a) the T[6] insulin hexamer (blue),[20.] and (b) the B9 Ser->Glu mutant insulin dimer (red). [9.] Only C^a atoms and the sulphate ions (ball and stick representation in the low pH structure) are shown. The dimers were overlapped using an alignment on residues B9-B19 and D9-D19, which constitute the B chain a-helices in each dimer. This Figure was made using MOLSCRIPT.[36.]
