Schematic representation of the cadherin adhesive cluster formed by cis and trans intercadherin interactions. Blue molecules are organized in a linear array through cis interactions. The periodicity of the array is 72 Å. Each molecule in the array is engaged in strand-swapped trans interactions with magenta molecules, which belong to the opposite cell. Each of these molecules is part of its own array. Note that the opposing arrays are at right angles
