Crystal structure of Ch-CPN in the closed state. a Overall structure of the AMPPNP-bound Ch-CPN. Subunits are labeled as S1–S8 and shown in different colors. The conformation of an inter-ring dimer (S1 and S1′) is depicted to calculate the molecular dimension (middle). b Contact areas in the intra ring dimer (S1 and S2). Interactions of adjacent subunits are indicated by dotted boxes. c Close-up view of the inter-subunit β-sheet in the closed state. Details of other interactions (from 2 to 5) are included in Supplementary Fig. 3
