Figure 8. Stereo view showing the overlap of the flexible binding loop in the wild-type core-streptavidin-biotin complex (pink bonds) with residues near the C terminus of T7-SA (blue bonds). Residues 154-156 in T7-SA, while not actually bound in the biotin-binding site, take on the same conformation and nearly the same location as the closed loop in the wild-type-biotin complex.
