Figure 1From: ASAView: Database and tool for solvent accessibility representation in proteinsASAView of a DNA binding protein (PDB code 1CMA chain A). (a) The spiral view, which shows amino acid residues of 1CMA, in the order of their solvent accessibility. Most accessible residues come on the outermost ring of this spiral. Blue, red, green, gray colors are used for positively charged, negatively charged, polar and non-polar residues respectively. Yellow color is used for Cystein residues. Radius of the solid circles representing these residues corresponds to the relative solvent accessibility (b) Solvent accessibility of residues, with residues arranged in the original order as in their PDB file. Length of the bar represents the ASA in units relative to extended state ASA of that residue.Back to article page
