Figure 5.
Figure 5 Molecular model of an initial step in the SV40 DNA replication. The PEN-4 structure is shown in black, two hexameric helicase domains are in blue (PDB Id: 1N25), modeled DNA is shown as a stick model and colored per atom type (carbon in yellow, oxygen in red, nitrogen in blue, and phosphorus in purple). Position of the initially melted 8 nt fragment of EP with respect to the PEN box is highlighted with a yellow rectangle. Relative positions of the C-terminus in the OBD (aa 253) and N-terminus in the helicase domain (aa 266) are indicated. See text for more detail.
