Figure 5
The first three stages of structure interpretation in the phasing of the selenomethionine case. POV-Ray was used to render the images. (a) The refined Se-atom positions are shown as spheres. The three Se atoms belonging to the same molecule are connected by sticks. The four clusters of Se atoms assigned to the asymmetric unit are shown in cyan and their symmetry mates are shown in red. The unit cell is shown as blue lines. (b) Using the assigned Se atoms, the model was built around these selenium positions. The built segments are shown as yellow, green, red and cyan chain traces. The arrow points to the misassigned α-helix. (c) The assignment of the helix was corrected and the cyan molecule shifted to the left into the position which relates the green, cyan and red molecules by the threefold NCS rotation axis.
