Construct and data-collection details. (a) Amino-acid sequence of HCV nE1. Cysteines, glycosylation sites and the N43Q mutation are shown in green, blue and red, respectively. The extra residues resulting from cloning are coloured light blue (TEV cleavage site) and pink. (b) 15% reducing (R) and nonreducing (NR) SDS–PAGE gels showing the purity of deglycosylated HCV nE1. (c) Typical HCV nE1 crystal. The red ellipse represents the size of the beam. (d) DISTL plot showing the number of spots and estimated resolution for each image (or ω) in a representative wedge (Zhang et al., 2006). The number of found spots (red), potential Bragg candidates (green) and the resolution (blue) are depicted as crosses. |
