Comparison of HI, DG, GH, and IJ loops of adenoviruses used in this study. a The hypervariable loops of HAdV-D26K (green) and HAdV-D48K (cyan) relevant to this study (HI, DG, GH, and IJ) are shown in the context of the control virus fiber-knob domains, HAdV-C5K (orange), Ad11K (yellow), HAdV-B35K (pink), and Ad37K (purple). The electron density achieved in the loops of HAdV-D26K (b) and HAdV-D48K (c) are shown as mesh. The fitted residues are seen as stick representations, with oxygen and nitrogen atoms coloured red and blue, respectively and other atoms coloured according to their relative B-factors with warmer colours indicating higher B-factor values
