Figure 2
The crystal packing of (a) (I), (b) Pro–Val (CSD refcode BIBVOX; Narasimhan et al., 1982) and (c) Ser–Val (EYIVAJ; Moen et al., 2004). Symbols for symmetry elements are included with pseudo-elements as open symbols in (a). In (a), peptide molecules A and B have C atoms in light and dark grey, respectively (in the electronic version of the paper, O1W is yellow and O2W is violet). A pair of water molecules are shown in a space-filling representation. Two different hydrogen-bonded sheets, seen here edge-on, are highlighted in grey, while a pair of Ser side chains that break the regular twofold screw symmetry are inside a dashed ellipse. The dashed circle in (c) highlights hydrogen bonding, see Comment for details. |
