A Unique Protein Self-Assembling Nanoparticle with Significant Advantages in Vaccine Development and Production

Figure 6

Structure of glycoprotein D receptor complex. A ribbon diagram illustrating the atomic structure of human HHS-1 gD (blue) in complex with the human nectin-1 cell surface receptor (yellow) [25]. The binding site incorporates portions of the N-terminal peptide and the large C-terminal helix. Note the C-terminus of HHS-1 gD at the far right, opposite the recognition surface site. The figure was created from the atomic coordinate file PDB: 3SKU [9] and the program Chimera.
