Fig. 1. Electron density within cavities in IL-1 . (A) Cavity 1. (B) Cavity 2. (C) Cavity 3. (D) Cavity 4. (E) Cavity 5. Cavity walls are rendered as translucent cyan surfaces. Residues surrounding each cavity are displayed in ball-and-stick format, with atoms that contact the cavity surface shown as larger spheres. Ordered water molecules are shown as large cyan spheres, with hydrogen-bonding interactions represented by dotted lines. Each plot depicts experimental electron density levels on the plane through the region of highest density (Table 4). Electron density values are represented by colors shown on the scale, with contours every 0.5 e/Å^3 (black lines). The cavity walls are indicated by white margins. These images were created by using MSP (36), MOLSCRIPT (40), RASTER3D (41), SLICED (M.L.Q., unpublished FORTRAN program), and GRI (42).
