Extended Data Fig. 4. Two-fold axis of dimer symmetry for VSGsur-suramin complex.

Extended Data Fig. 4

(a) The top drawing illustrates the chemical structure of suramin with several of its functional groups denoted, whereas the bottom renders the drug as found in the protein structure with a transparent molecular surface shown. Oxygen atoms are shown in red, nitrogen in blue, and carbon gray. (b) Ribbon diagram of VSGsur (one monomer blue and the other gold) looking down the two-fold axis of symmrtry for the dimer. Suramin is shown as a ball-and-stick chemical representation as in (a). In the center of the rotational axis for the dimer, one of the suramin benzene rings is visible.
