Figure 3
Superimposition of the main chain (a) and heme group (b) of different related cytochrome c6 structures. The different structures are colour-coded by their respective PDB code. Along with the model obtained by NMR spectroscopy (PDB entry 1c6s), the two crystal structures presented here do not contain the insertion (65LAGYKDGSKSL75) labelled by an asterisk, but instead contain a much shorter almost straight connecting loop (Supplementary Fig. S2). The structure and position of the heme group are widely conserved, with a minor difference in the position of the attached carboxy groups in the model derived by NMR coloured light blue. |
