MraY-mediated translocation

Figure 2: Combined cartoon and schematic membrane model of MraY. This diagram shows the orientation of the MraY enzyme in the membrane relative to the cytoplasmic and periplasmic side, with the different secondary structures highlighted: Alpha helix in red, Beta-sheets in yellow and loops in green. Furthermore, the translocation process is shown as a phospho-MurNAc-pentapeptide is added to C55-P.
