Figure 3
Schematic representation of hydrogen-bond chains along the b axis in ecdysone and 20-hydroxyecdysone. The molecule represented by a thinner line is shifted by a unit translation along the a axis. Bond a is directed to O22 in ecdysone and to O20 in 20-hydroxyecdysone, and it is followed by intramolecular bond(s) to O25 in both structures. |
