Figure 1. Structure of PSD-95 PDZ1 determined by NMR spectroscopy. (A) Stereoview showing the best-fit superposition of the backbone atoms (N, C^a, and C') of the final 20 structures of PSD-95 PDZ1. The structures are superimposed against the average structure using the residues 64-148. The structural statistics are summarized in Table 1. (B) Ribbon diagram presentation of PSD-95 PDZ1. The secondary structure elements are labelled following the scheme used in the crystal structure of PSD-95 PDZ3. [7] (C) Comparison of the 3D structures of PDZ1 and PDZ2 of PSD-95. The backbone traces (N, C^a, and C') of PDZ1 (gold) and PDZ2 (yellow) are superimposed. The two structures were fit to each other by excluding the GLGF-loop, bB/bC loop and the two termini. The rmsd between the backbones of the two PDZ domains is 1.35 Å.
