Figure 5
Examples of different numbers of alternative conformations and how an asparagine residue appears in electron-density and nuclear scattering length density maps. In all figures gold mesh represents neutron scattering length density and teal mesh represents electron density. Green/red represents mFobsDFmodel density contoured at 3.0/−3.0 r.m.s.d., carved at 3 Å. (a, b) Ile52 in PDB entry 6l46. Note that there are no notable peaks in the difference density maps around this residue. (c, d) Met266 in PDB entry 6l46. (e, f) Ser160 in PDB entry 3x2o. (g, h) Asn38 in PDB entry 3x2o. The 2mFobsDFmodel density is contoured at 0.8 r.m.s.d. in (a), (b), (c) and (d), 1 r.m.s.d. in (e) and (f) and 2 r.m.s.d. in (g) and (h). Side-chain H/D atoms are not shown for clarity, except for the Asn group in (h).
