Figure 4: Structure with a slab ( approx-23 Å) of the transmembrane domain viewed from the periplasmic side. The side chains of three functionally essential charged residues—Asp 407, Asp 408 and Lys 940—and functionally important residue Thr 978 are shown in a ball-and-stick representation. Colours of the protomers are as in Fig. 1. Roman numerals indicate the transmembrane helix numbers^13.
