Figure 1.
FIGURE 1. Structure of 2-m and location of mutations introduced. A, amino acid sequence. Trp^60 and Trp^95 are indicated in red and orange, respectively. Residues mutated to Trp are Leu^39 (green), Ser^33 (cyan), Val^49 (blue), and Tyr^78 (purple). A Met is always present at the N terminus of all the 2-ms, which is indicated as M0. B, schematic structure. Side chains of Trp^60 and Trp^95 and the residues mutated to Trp are indicated with the same colors as in A. Secondary structures are indicated by hydrogen bonds (A) and the numbering of -strands (A and B). The schematic structure was produced using MOLMOL (43) with our structure (PDB code 2D4F).
