The first residue in each segment of secondary structure is numbered. b, Stereo depiction of superposed C
backbone structures from globular portions of
-chains (green) and
-chains (red); the numbers on the strands and letters on the helices correspond to the secondary structure designations in Fig. 4. c, GRASP representation of binding cavities of
-chains (left) and
-chains (right) showing charge distribution; red, negatively charged; blue, positively charged47. Domains have been reorientated to show equivalent projections.
