The 1xcs (model at right) complex is a small, simple globular DNA-peptide complex, and as such lacks secondary beta sheets or alpha helices. The complex consists of two non-identical dimers. A simplified model of 1xcs is shown <scene name='48/483883/Title/4'>here,</scene> with the side chains removed for clarity. The peptide backbones can be followed from N to C termini following along each strand from blue to red. Note that the strands are antiparallel where they are non-covalently bound. <scene name='48/483883/1xcs_with_side_chains/2'>1xcs with the side chains displayed (black)</scene> visualizes this bonding in the middle region of the complex, again following each strand from blue to red from N to C terminus.
