FIGURE 9.

A side and top view of bacteriorhodopsin in a Nanodisc made with MSP1 Δ(1–11) scaffolds at 4.5 ns. Shown in cyan and red are the two membrane scaffold proteins surrounding the DPPC lipid bilayer in a beltlike fashion. DPPC lipids are shown in orange (headgroups) and gray (tail groups). Embedded in the center of the lipid bilayer is a bacteriorhodopsin shown using a surface representation colored according to their residue properties; basic residues are shown in blue, acid residues in red, polar residues in green, and nonpolar residues in white.
