Figure 1. Active sites of 3 alphavirus nsP2 proteases and papain.

Figure 1

The upper panel shows superposition of the 3 currently available alphavirus nsP2 protease active sites. Tan color ribbon is CHIKV nsP2 (PDB ID: 3TRK), blue ribbon is VEEV nsP2 (PDB ID: 2HWK) and purple ribbon is SINV nsP2 (PDB ID: 4GUA). The lower panel shows the active site of papain (PDB ID: 9PAP). Molecular graphics and analyses were performed with the UCSF Chimera package. Chimera is developed by the Resource for Biocomputing, Visualization, and Informatics at the University of California, San Francisco (supported by NIGMS P41-GM103311)49.
