Domain Structure and Function
A, a stereo view of superposition of the main chains of 15 final structures. N and C indicate Lys-21 and Ala-95, respectively, and loops 3 and 4 are labeled. B, a stereo view of the main chain of a restrained energy minimized mean structure of RBD1. α-Helices and β-strands are colored red and cyan, respectively. The side chains of Phe-23, Phe-63, and Phe-65 are also shown. C, a stereo view of the main chain of a restrained energy minimized mean structure of RBD2 from Ref. 25. N and C indicate Lys-110 and Ala-184, respectively. The side chains of Phe-112, Phe-152, and Phe-154 are also shown. (Miyanoiri et al. 2003)
