a Structural superposition of Tse5 (grey), RhsA (orange), and Rhs1 (yellow). b Two views of the Tse5-Shell’s amphipathic surface showing the Coulombic electrostatic potential plotted on the solvent-excluded surface (left panel), and residues on the surface contributing to its amphipathic character, including residues in Pred. Helical Region 1, Helical Region 2, Hydrophobic Patch, and other arginine residues on the surface. The colour key on the left indicates the electrostatic surface potential values plotted onto the surface (−10 to +10 kcal/(mol·e−) at 298 K). ChimeraX was used to calculate the Coulombic electrostatic potential.
