:The domain swapping can be observed from the side following the backbone of each chain as well: <scene name='User:Wayne_Decatur/Sandbox_Glutamate_receptor/Swap_full_side/1'>A chain</scene>, <scene name='User:Wayne_Decatur/Sandbox_Glutamate_receptor/Swap_full_side/2'>B chain</scene>, <scene name='User:Wayne_Decatur/Sandbox_Glutamate_receptor/Swap_full_side/3'>C chain</scene>, and <scene name='User:Wayne_Decatur/Sandbox_Glutamate_receptor/Swap_full_side/5'>D chain</scene>.

* | *The <scene name='User:Wayne_Decatur/Sandbox_Glutamate_receptor/Tmd_domain_4fold/2'>symmetry is an overall four-fold for the TMD</scene>. Thus, remarkably, the symmetry switches from an overall two-fold symmetry for the ATD and LBD to four-fold for the TMD. | ||
As a result of the swapping and symmetry mismatch, there is subunit non-equivalence; even though all the chains are the same chemically, there are two distinct conformations of the subunits. This means there are two matching pairs of subunits. | As a result of the swapping and symmetry mismatch, there is subunit non-equivalence; even though all the chains are the same chemically, there are two distinct conformations of the subunits.
