Figure 1
The crystal structure of Tim50_new. (a) The Tim50_new structure is shown in ribbon representation as a stereoview. The N-terminus and C-terminus of the molecule are labeled. The secondary structures A1, A2, B2 and B3 are labeled. The putative presequence-binding groove is indicated by an arrow. The Tim50 molecule shown in this figure is monomer E in the asymmetric unit of Tim50_new, which belongs to group I. (b). The Tim50_new structure is shown in surface potential representation. The orientation of the Tim50_new molecule is similar to that in (a). The scale for the surface potential is shown below the figure. The figures in this paper were all generated using PyMOL. |
