Figure 4. Structure of the HEF2/ERH functional dimer. (A), a ribbon diagram of the HEF2/ERH dimer. The monomers (red and blue) are related by a twofold axis and can be generated by the y, x - z symmetric operation in the crystal lattice. (B), the -sheets from the monomers in the dimer form a pseudo- -barrel (generated by rotate 4A 90°C about the axis in the article and look-up ). There is no main chain-main chain hydrogen bond between strand 2 of the two monomers. Tyr79 of both monomers which contribute two hydrogen bonds (see text) are shown in ball-and-stick. C: a space-fill representation of the pseudo- -barrel, viewed from the bottom of the model in panel (B). The cavity channel at the interface of the two monomers is shown.
