Figure 2

In the model the two globular N-term domains are described by a dumbbell consisting of two spheres of sizes RN = 1.979 nm and the first six heptad repeats by a string of three spheres of size RCC = 1.182 nm. In our coarse-grained model the ninefold planar ring structure is encoded by the center-to-center vectors and the torsion vectors , as indicated in the figure.
