Fig. 3.

The transition state of LysM. Low Φ-values (0.0–0.2) are shown in red; moderate Φ-values (0.3–0.5) are shown in magenta and high Φ-values are blue. (a) Helix-side view and (c) sheet-side view of LysM showing the Φ-values mapped onto a cartoon representation of the native state structure. (b) Helix-side view and (d) sheet-side view of LysM showing the conserved hydrophobic core residues as filled spheres that are coloured according to their Φ-value. W30 has no Φ-value determined and is shown in grey. These figures were produced with the PyMol Molecular Graphics System [http://pymol.sourceforge.net/].
