Figure 8.
The potential factors related to the cold adaptation of ChiTg. Surface electrostatic potential of ChiTg (A). The surface coloring is based on the electrostatic potential, with a gradient from red (electronegative) to blue (electropositive). B-factor changes over the backbone of ChiTg (B). Tertiary structure alignment between ChiTg and thermostable chitinase Chit1 from Thermomyces lanuginosu s(C). The amino acid residues on the surface colored in red and yellow are from Chit1 and ChiTg, respectively.
