Classifying RNA-Binding Proteins Based on Electrostatic Properties
Figure 2
Illustration of the three positive electrostatic patches in the aspartyl tRNA synthetase (1asy).
The largest patch is colored blue, the second largest patch is magenta, the third largest patch is cyan, and the negative patch is colored red. Interestingly, for the tRNA-binding proteins the protein binds via both the positive and the negative electrostatic patches.
