Structure of the E. coli PBP 5 anchor peptide. (A) The ribbon structure of the PBP 5 anchor displaying its secondary structure. The surface domain of the protein connects to the N-terminus (right side) of the peptide. The α-helical portions of the peptide are colored red and yellow and the non-α-helical portions are displayed as wires in gray. (B) Stereo view of the peptide (backbone as a wire in green) with side chains displayed as capped sticks (C in gray; O in red; N in blue; S in yellow). Hydrogens are removed and the residues are labeled for clarity. (C) Stereo view of the computational model of the peptide interaction with the DPC micelle (Connolly surface in gray) from Sybyl. The top view of the peptide on the surface of the micelle is depicted. The peptide is colored according to hydrophobic (orange) and hydrophilic (blue) residues, with the N-terminus to the right and C-terminus to the left (the same perspective as in panel A).
