Figure 1.
Figure 1. (a) Cartoon representations of the OmCI molecule from the P2[1]2[1]2[1]-A crystal form. Colour: blue to red, from N terminus to C terminus. The cysteine side-chains and the ricinoleic acid ligand are shown in stick representation, with C atoms coloured orange, O red and S green. The strands and helices are labelled following the tick lipocalin nomenclature.^36 (b) OmCI molecular surface coloured by electrostatic potential, in the same orientations as in (a). Contours: − 2 kT/e, red; + 2 kT/e, blue. The pictures were produced with the PyMol [http://www.pymol.sourceforge.net/]. The electrostatic potential was computed with the program APBS^42, run within PyMol, with the following parameters: ε[protein] = 2.0; ε[solvent] = 78.0; ionic strength, 150 mM NaCl. In (a) and (b), views 1 and 2 are rotated by 90° around the horizontal axis.
