Figure 2. Dimerization of Y16A/F28A-HNP1.

Figure 2

(A) Ribbon diagram of the Y16A/F28A HNP1 dimer with hydrophilic (left panel) and hydrophobic (right panel) residues stabilizing the dimer shown as balls and sticks. Mutated residues are shown in red and H-bonds are displayed as blue dashes. In addition to the main chain hydrogen bonds formed between Thr18 and Ile20, three new hydrogen bonds, between Cys2 and Cys4 and between the hydroxyl of Tyr3 and Ala1 help stabilize the opposite face of the dimer. (B) Superposition of Y16A/F28A and wild type HNP1 dimers. Y16A/F28A is in cyan and green and wild type HNP1 in grey and yellow.
