Figure 4.
Figure 4 Surface representations of SH3 domains from Abl, Sem5 and Amph2. The pictures on the left depict surface accessible hydrophobic regions coloured green to yellow for increasing hydrophobicity (M.Noble, X objects, unpublished). Amph2 SH3 shows only two hydrophobic patches as opposed to the three present in Abl and Sem5. On the right are representations of electrostatic potential (created using GRASP) showing the large negatively charged patch (red) on the peptide binding surface (the peptide is shown in the case of Abl and Sem5). The representations show the peptide binding surfaces of the SH3 domains with the n-Src loops pointing toward the top of the page. Coordinates for the SH3 domain of Abl (Musacchio et al., 1994) and the N-terminal SH3 domain of sem5 (Lim et al., 1994) were obtained from the Protein Data Bank.
