Figure 1.
Figure 1. (a) Surface representation of the hLT B-pentamer. The blood group A antigen analog GalNAcα3(Fucα2)Galβ4(Fucα3)Glcβ is shown in red stick representation. A model of the GM1 pentasaccharide (black) is depicted for comparison. (b) Well-defined electron density (2F[o]−F[c] map, at 1σ) of the pentasaccharide, at the interface of two B-subunits (in green and blue, respectively) The Figure was generated with PyMOL: DeLano, W.L.
