Other Details The entire ankyrin structure was fitted as a single rigid body. As a result, the first two ankyrin repeats (UNP residues 111-199) are included but are not well defined by the experimental density. Interatomic clashes between the ankyrin repeats and the C-terminal beta sheet are the result of poor geometry due to relatively poor experimental density in these regions. Resolution and averaging of DkTx density was insufficient to provide side chain geometry. The DkTx model was generated as a poly-ALA model based on hanatoxin (PDB entry 1D1H) and docked into the DkTx density with slight modification. (Single particle details: 3D classification, refinement, and reconstruction were performed using RELION) (Single particle--Applied symmetry: C4)
