  1. The PDB codes and protein names for nine bHLH proteins deposited in the PDB are shown with their superfamily names from the CATH [23] and SCOP [24] classifications and their sequence family numbers from CATH. Max has more than one structure solved, including two complexes (1nkp, Max-Myc and 1nlw, Max-Mad). *Structures shown in Figure 1; NC, the protein is not yet included in the CATH or SCOP protein structure classifications. SREBP, steroid response element binding protein. 'Protein chains' indicates the chain identification letter assigned to individual subunits in the PDB files.
