The backbone structure of the H-HEWLEC Lys97–Gly104 loop (extended to Ala107) is considerably different from those of D-HEWLEC, H-HEWL and of HEWL in different crystal systems. PDB entries 2vb1, 1iee, 3wl2 and 6f1o were chosen as representative of native H-HEWL crystallized in the triclinic, tetragonal, monoclinic and orthorhombic systems, respectively. The Lys97–Ala107 regions of the different variants were structurally aligned; for clarity, only the main-chain atoms are shown. This illustration was produced using PyMOL (version 2.0; Schrödinger). |
