Figure 5
A diagrammatic representation of the structure of EBOV NPCt. (a) A ribbon diagram showing the tertiary structure with secondary-structure elements identified and labeled; the color scheme follows the rainbow convention with blue at the N-terminus and red at the C-terminus. (b) A view of the molecule after 180° rotation showing all the side chains as lines and all conserved side chains as sticks. The hydrophobic core made up of completely buried residues is visualized using van der Waals spheres. Four conserved residues are labeled. |
