FIG. 4. Polypeptide-backbone mobility in the structures of p53 core domain quadruple mutant M133L/V203A/N239Y/N268D and wild type. A, distribution of average isotropic B-factors for main-chain atoms in chains A (thick solid line) and B (thin solid line) of the quadruple mutant, and chain A (DNA-free) of wild type (dotted line). Secondary structural elements are given for reference; blocks represent -strands and open circles indicate helical segments. B, relative backbone mobility as calculated by (B-)/ [B] in chains A (thick solid line) and B (thin solid line) of the superstable quadruple mutant, and chain A (DNA-free) of wild type (dotted line). B- is the deviation of the average isotropic main-chain B-factor for a particular residue from the mean for the whole chain (backbone atoms only), [B] the standard deviation.
