Figure 7. Space-filling model of the trimeric knob protein, showing the deep surface depression centered on the three-fold axis, and the valleys formed by the R-sheets and HI loops. Red: amino acid residues of Ad5 that differ from those of Ad2. Yellow: residues identical in Ad5 and Ad2. Green: residues identical in Ad5 and Ad2 but different from residues that are identical in Ad7 and Ad3. The main conserved regions are in the central surface depression around the three-fold symmetry axis and on the floor the valley.
