Die Abbildung zeigt die aus der Kryo-Elektronenmikroskopie abgeleiteten experimentellen Daten als 3D-Rekonstruktion. Das XPD-Protein ist in Grün, der akzessorische Faktor p44 in Cyan und die beschädigte DNA in Orange dargestellt. Die Daten liefern Informationen mit einer Auflösung von bis zu 3,1 Å (ein Å entspricht einem Hundertmillionstel eines Zentimeters), die es ermöglichen, atomare Details der Interaktion von XPD mit der geschädigten DNA zu beobachten.
