Figure 3: Distribution of the electrostatic potential on the
solvent-accessible surface of Sxl (stereo view). The bound
12-nucleotide RNA is indicated in yellow by a ball-and-stick
representation. The V-shaped interdomain cleft and the surface
on the RBD2 -sheet
platform are strongly electropositive (blue); these accommodate
the phosphodiester backbone of the elongated RNA well. On the
other hand, electronegative regions (red) are scattered. This
figure was drawn using MOLMOL^50.
