Spider's Web

Caption

The figure shows a spider's web together with the molecular structure of the investigated domain in the bound state in surface representation (structure in red/orange, upper left corner). The side chains of the amino acid methionine, which are located in the core of the domain where they serve to malleablise the structure, are highlighted as coloured sticks.
