Figure 2
Cartoon representation of trimer packing. The hexameric morphology of the P2 trimers is denoted by solid hexagons, while their underlying trimeric nature and orientation is denoted by black triangles. A and B label the two crystallographically independent trimers, which by application of crystallographic symmetry form a series of infinite and closely spaced planes. The lower left arrow corresponds to the Patterson vector (0.43, 0.5, 0.5), while the arrow at the upper right corresponds to the Patterson vector (0.5, 0.49, 0) and relates (by a 60° rotation) A and B trimers in the same plane. |
