Abstract excerpt
Soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNARE) complexes form bundles of four parallel alpha-helices. The central '0' layer of interacting amino acid side chains is highly conserved and contains one arginine and three glutamines, leading to the classification of SNAREs into R, Qa, Qb, and Qc-SNAREs. Replacing one of the glutamines with arginine in the yeast exocytotic SNARE complex...
