Figure 1. Split-can venus.
A) The venus is split into two segments at Glutamine158/Lysine159. The yellow segment indicates the chromophore. The dark blue arrows indicate the β-sheets. B) The 3D structure of full length venus (PDB file 1MYW) (Rekas et al., 2002) and the two segments. The 3D structure is rendered by the Visual Molecular Dynamics (VMD) program. (Humphrey et al., 1996)
