Figure 3. Details of the baseplate structure. Proteins are
labeled with their respective gene numbers. (a) The garland of
short tail fibers gp12 (magenta) with gp11 structures (cyan C
 -trace)
at the kinks of the gp12 fibers. Black line, six-fold axis of
the baseplate. (b) The baseplate 'pins,' composed of gp7 (red),
gp8 (dark blue C -trace),
gp10 (yellow) and gp11 (cyan C -trace).
Shown also is gp9 (green C -trace),
the long tail fiber attachment protein, with a green line along
its three-fold axis representing the direction of the long tail
fibers. (c) Unassigned density around the center of the
baseplate representing gp6, gp25 and gp53.
