The SpTrpA 3D domain-swapped dimer. (a) The 3D domain swapping of protein chains C (yellow) and D (green). (b) Topology of the secondary-structure elements viewed down the axis of the 3D domain-swapped TIM barrel of SpTrpA. Helices are marked as circles and labeled H0–H8; β-strands are marked as triangles and labeled S1–S8. Residue ranges for the α-helices and β-strands are marked in Supplementary Fig. S1. (c) The domain-swapping hinge (residues Ile55–Gly64) of chain C (yellow) and chain D (green), shown as 2Fo − Fc electron density contoured at 1.2σ. |
