Figure 6
Likelihood for glycation. Shown is the 2D mapping of one period of the collagen structure (as in Fig. 4). The regions of the staggered repetition unit are denoted by dashed red lines. Superimposed is the probability function Darg–lys(x,y). The contours reveal where arginine (green bullets) and lysine/hydroxylysine (orange bullets) are close to each other. At these positions the likelihood for glycation is high. The experimental resolution is indicated via a red disk, DiskR(x,y). |
