Structural comparisons of ntcNDCBE. (a) Superimposition of the central β-sheet of ntcNDCBE (chain A, blue) with the corresponding amino acids from cdb3 (chain P, light brown) with an RMSD of 0.82 Å. The relative movement of chain B of ntcNDCBE compared with chain Q of cdb3, showing a pivotal rotation of 23°. Only the central β-sheet of both structures is shown. The surface representation of each structure is shown in the background. (b) Superimposition of CR2 from ntcNDCBE chain A with E. coli IIANtr (PDB ID: 1A6J, Chain A), showing an RMSD of 2.25 Å. IIANtr is coloured orange.
