Fig. 5. 3D structures of tetrameric K3 and monomeric K3 in the fibrillar state. The conformation of K3 in the fibrillar state obtained by simulated annealing molecular dynamics by using CNS. (A) Calculated ensemble of tetrameric structures of K3 fibrils. (B) Ribbon model representation of tetrameric K3 in parallel STAG(+1) conformation. (C) The conformation of one K3 structure in the fibrillar state. (D) Comparison of the conformation of the K3 region in the crystal structure of native 2-m. Notably, the residues between Phe^22 and Ser^28 are flipped relative to the crystal structure of native 2-m in the fibrillar state.
