Figure 6. Three views of the electrostatic surface potential of OmpRc. Red indicates a negatively charged region, blue indicates a positively charged region and white indicates a neutral or hydrophobic region. (a) The molecule is oriented similarly to Figure 5b, displaying the positive electrostatic surface potential of the DNA-binding surface. (b) The molecule is oriented similarly to Figure 5a. The a loop surface, that may interact with the a subunit of RNA polymerase, is rather neutral or hydrophobic. (c) This remarkable, negatively charged face of the protein lies at the C-terminal end of the recognition helix. (Figure produced using GRASP [73].)
