Figure 6.
Fig. 6. Illustrations of the electrostatic surface and intermodular interface of fH12–13. (a) Electrostatic surface^43 (top; same view as in Fig. 3e); CCP 12 is predominantly electronegative, whilst the linker and CCP 13 display an electropositive patch that includes the helix-like hypervariable region. (b) In this cartoon (PyMOL), disulphides are drawn as sticks (yellow sulphur atoms), CCP 12 is shown in red, CCP 13 is shown in blue, and linker is shown in yellow/orange. Different shades of these colours are used to distinguish side chains (drawn as spheres; heavy atoms only) contributing to the intermodular interface. Side chains are labelled in the blow-up (bottom).
