Figure 4.
Figure 4. The proposed SecA binding site. The orientation is orthogonal to that in Fig. 3. The drawing on the left is the solvent accessible surface of the SecB tetramer. The surface encompassing Asp 27, Glu 31, and Glu 86 is colored green; the surface encompassing Ile 84 is colored yellow. These four residues have been shown to be important for SecB's interaction with SecA^7, 16. The drawing on the right is the same surface except that it is colored based on the electrostatic potential of the molecule (ranging from -10 to +10kT). Figure produced using Grasp36.
