Figure 1

Structure and packing of BTA121. (a) BTA121 consists of four domains (D1, blue, 164–214; D2, cyan, 215–299; D3, green, 300–344; D4, red 345–435) and each domain has three alpha helices. (b) There are two BTA121 monomers in the asymmetric unit colored as blue and salmon forming two possible crystallographic dimers (c) dimer 1 and (d) dimer 2. (e) Close up of intermolecular interactions of dimer 1 reveals a palindromic sequence (side chains shown as sticks). (f) Details of intermolecular interactions of dimer 2.
