Figure 9.
Figure 9. (a) Stereo ribbon diagrams of superpositions of the structures of AP-B and AP-A. For each molecule, the structure closest to the geometric average is shown. Structures were superimposed over the backbone heavy atoms of residues 2–7 and 18–49, corresponding to the well-defined region of AP-B. Colours are as follows: mauve/pink indicates the well-defined region of AP-B, magenta the poorly defined loop; turquoise indicates the well-defined region of AP-A, purple the poorly defined loop. The side chains of Asp7, Asp9, Lys37, His39 and Lys48 are shown in white in AP-B and red in AP-A. (b) Stereoview of the structure of AP-B closest to the geometric average and showing the positions of some of the residues (Asp7, Asp9, Arg12, Asn35, Lys37, His39 and Lys48 coloured magenta) thought to contribute to the receptor-binding surface of the molecule (see text). A Connolly surface generated with a probe radius of 1.4 å is shown; the orientation of the molecule is the same as in Figure 5. Figure 9.
