The talin rod domains are separated by short hinges. NMR spectra (100 μM) of (A) R11–R12 (1974–2294), (B) overlaid with spectra of the R11 and R12 domains (red and green), (C) The structure of R11–R12 (PDB ID: 3DYJ) with R11 (magenta) and R12 (sky blue) attached via a continuous helix through the linker (red). (D) R9–R10 (1655–1973), (E) overlaid with the R9 and R10 domains (red and green) (F) The 11 rod domain linkers, the length of the linkers is shown in brackets. With the exceptions of R1–R2, R2–R3 and R11–R12 and R12–R13 the domains are connected via short 4–7aa linkers comprised of a high ratio of helix disrupting prolines and glycines.
