Figure 2
Surface representations of the quaternary structures of the canonical hexameric α5NC1homo, α1NC1homo, α3NC1homo and α121NC1 and the noncanonical α2NC1homo and α4NC1homo organized as octamers and dodecamers, respectively. Each subunit in the assemblies is coloured differently. The top and middle rows show views in which the axis of highest molecular symmetry is vertical. In the bottom row this axis is perpendicular to the paper, allowing a view of the equatorial surface of the protomer. |
