Superposition of models and crystal structures for ank3 (a) (RMSD of 0.9 Å), arm8 (b) (RMSD of 0.9 Å) and
LRR_1440 (c) (RMSD of 1.1 Å). Models are in green and crystal structures are in blue. In most cases, the core residues assume the conformation predicted in the models, as shown in (a), (b) and (c) insets for some of the side chains. Parts of the structures have been removed to display the core residues. RMSD was calculated using backbone heavy atoms. For LRR, the N-terminal capping repeat was not included in the RMSD calculation; when it is considered, the RMSD increases to 1.6 Å. Pictures were realized with PyMOL (Schroedinger).
