Figure 2

Two Calsepa molecules sandwich bisected hexasaccharide (glycan 1) in a back fold conformation.

(A) Chemical structure of bisected glycan (glycan 1) used for Calsepa complex. (B) Overall structure of Calsepa in complex with glycan 1 in the asymmetric unit. (C) Close up view of sandwiched glycan 1. Potential hydrogen bonds between Calsepa and glycan 1 are indicated with red dotted lines. (D) The structure of Calsepa-bound glycan 1 shown in rod and semi-transparent sphere models. Possible hydrogen bond between GlcNAc-5 and GlcNAc-7 is shown in a red dotted line.
