a The backbone residues for the atomic model of ΔΝ6-2PFa was used to create tube representations of protofilament #1 (yellow) and protofilament #2 (green), defining schematics that contain the hammer shaped motif and indicating the direction the termini will pack. b Overlay of the termini-up schematic from protofilament #1 (yellow) and the termini down schematic from protofilament #2 (green) on the three polymorphs identified in the β2m-ΔN6 dataset: 1PFa, 2PFa and 2PFb, as indicated.
