Figure 29-6: The Crystal Structure of the Tailspike Trimer. The structure of residues 109-666 (the C-terminus) of wild type P22 tailspike protein is shown in ribbon diagram form. Each chain of the trimer is colored a different shade. The N-terminus of the molecule lies to the left of the figure, and the C-teminus lies to the right. The central region (the body of the fish) corresponds to the parallel b-coil structure.
