TABLE 2

Distances of residues in the models that have previously been shown to be cross-linked in double cysteine mutants TM helix a and TM helix b denote the pairs of putative transmembrane α-helices in which cross-links between two cysteines introduced at residues a and b could be obtained

The source reference is given in the rightmost column. To allow a more convenient identification of the mutated residues, they are denoted with their original (nonmutated) three-letter amino acid code followed by the position in the primary sequence. All distances are minimum distances and are measured between the Cα atoms of the specified residues. In instances in which more than one pair of residues has been cross-linked, the superscripts 1 to 4 are used to identify these pairs, and the minimum and maximum distances are given. In the case of the triple-cysteine mutants (Stenham et al., 2003), the minimum distance is given.
