Figure 3.
Binding of PspA2 with the LF N-lobe. (a) Grooves on NLF for binding PspA2 helices. NLF is shown in surface drawing and PspA2 in ribbons. Several LF residues around the grooves are labeled. Helix 2 has the most interactions with NLF. (b) and (c) Close-up views of the intermolecular interactions between PspA2 and NLF. Amino acid residues for both PspA2 (salmon, labeled C) and NLF (green, labeled A) participating in binding are shown in sticks. Water molecules involved in bridging PspA2 and NLF are shown as red spheres.
