Figure 1.
Cartoon representation of a membrane peptide (acetylcholine receptor (AchR) M2δ, PDB entry 1EQ8) incorporated into lipid bilayers (1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC)). Methanethiosulfonate spin label (MTSL) (orange color) has been attached at 11th position. Figure was prepared using visual molecular dynamics (VMD) and molecular modeling was performed using CHARMM-GUI (http://www.charmm-gui.org).
