One monomer of NTD (N-Terminal Domain) is composed of 5 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_helix_ α-helix] (H1 to H5). | One monomer of NTD (N-Terminal Domain) is composed of 5 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_helix_ α-helix] (<scene name='82/829354/A/1'>H1 to H5</scene>). | ||
In each subunit, the orientation of helices 2, 3 and 5 is different from the orientation of helices 1 and 4. Indeed, helices 1 and 4 form the rigid body of the NTD domain, while helices 2, 3 and 5 are involved in intermolecular contacts, so they play an important role in the dimerization process. | In each subunit, the orientation of helices 2, 3 and 5 is different from the orientation of helices 1 and 4.
