Figure 4. RNA-binding regions of S7. (a) Electrostatic surface potential of S7. The potential displayed represents a range from -12 to +12 k[B]T, shown with red as negative and blue as positive. The surface potential calculation and display was done using the program GRASP [84]. (b) Ribbon diagram of a similar view, showing residues that are likely to be involved in RNA-binding. Basic residues are shown in blue and solvent-exposed hydrophobic residues are shown in yellow. The red residues R76 and A116 correspond to the sites of crosslinks to 16S RNA. The figure was produced using the program MOLSCRIPT [82].
