Figure 9.

Exposed hydrophobic and charged groups on the exposed faces of the ChCh β-sheet. (a) front face (corresponding to the view in Figure 3); (b) back face (turned 180° about the vertical axis). For each view, the left figure shows hydrophobic side chains (green), acidic side chains (red) and basic side chains (blue), the middle panel shows electrostatic charge mapped on the surface, and the right panel shows exposed hydrophobic side chains (green) mapped onto the surface. The figure was prepared with MOLMOL.⁷⁴
