Figure 6
Pictorial 1-D helical symmetry description of three helical structures determined by X-ray fibre diffraction. The three depicted helical structures are the filamentous bacteriophage ph75 (PDB entry 1hgv), F-actin (PDB entry 2zwh) and the cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (PDB entry 1cgm). The same isosurface and color definition described in Fig. 5 is used for the three helical assemblies. The pictorial presentation directly indicates the helical signatures of the three helical structures in 11, two and 16 colored protofilaments, which are respectively implied by the specified [11, −5], [2, −1] and [16, −1] helical symmetry. |
