Figure 2 Three-dimensional model showing location of residues affected by mutations in the neurofibromin GAP-related domain/RAS complex. Ribbon-like structures of neurofibromin GAP-related domain and RAS are shown in green and yellow, respectively. The mutated residues (Lys1423, Asn1430, Val1432, and Glu1438), the catalytic arginine finger (Arg1276), and GDP are represented by sticks and transparent surfaces. Molecular alignment and representation were made with the programs SwissPdb Viewer v. 3.7 (Guex and Peitsch 1997) and PyMOL (DeLano 2002), respectively.
