Figure 3. Visualization of SecYEG translocons in membrane.

Figure 3

(a) AFM image of a glass-supported lipid bilayer containing SecYEG. A cross section profile (white trace) is also shown. Panel (b) shows height histograms of SecYEG on glass (red, N= 1203) and on mica (dashed black, N= 2766). Data was normalized to the total features, the fraction of occurrences in each bin of width 1.7 Å was plotted, the narrowest distribution was taken as the reference and the most highly populated bin was set to 1. An individual SecYEG monomer imaged on glass is shown (c). Scale bars are 100 nm, and 5 nm for panels (a) & (c), respectively.
