Figure 3
In crystal form 2, the central helix is bent by 40°, and the side chain of Arg86 flips inwards to distort hydrogen bonding in the helix backbone. (a) In the monomer with a straight central helix (cyan), Arg86 is stacked against Tyr138, but it hydrogen-bonds to the backbone amide of Thr79 in the bent conformation (magenta). (b) 2FoFc density for Arg86 in the bent chain contoured at 1σ.
