Fig. 5. Comparison of shared and distinct contact surfaces in the IL-23 and IL-12 complexes. (a) Histogram of buried surface area contributed by each p40 residue involved in p19 and/or p35 interaction. (b) Surface representation of p40 (middle panel), with residues interacting with p19 (pink), p35 (green), or p19 and p35 (yellow) highlighted. The p40-interacting surfaces of p19 (left panel in pink) and p35 (right panel in green) are shown with a transparent p40 overlay to demonstrate orientation.
