Figure 4.

Density profiles of key components of the eukaryotic LLO, G3M9Gn2-PP-Dol, along the membrane normal (Z axis) in the DOPC bilayers: membrane head groups (brown), lipid acyl chains (gray), isoprenoid dolichol chain (blue), oligosaccharide (purple), pyrophosphate linkage (red), and the last carbon atom of dolichol chain (black). To aid viewing, the oligosaccharide distribution has been scaled by a factor of five and the pyrophosphate linkage, dolichol chain, and dolichol’s last carbon distributions by ten. The profiles are the averages of the three independent replicates, and the standard errors are also shown as the error bars. To see this figure in color, go online.
