Residues numbered according to the X-ray structure of the
MYC-MAX heterodimer bound to the DNA E-box (PDB ID:
1NKP). S. K. Nair and S. K. Burley, Cell, 2003, 112, 193–205.
Figure 4. Overlay of both red channel and DIC fluorescence micrographies of A549 cells
incubated for 4 h with 250 nM of the synthetic peptides in DMEM (without FBS). Cells
were then washed twice with PSB solution and three more times with DMEM. Pictures
were taken at 60X and λexc = 561 nm for the red channel, in a confocal microscope.

with respect to MYC, as well as the A and Q mutations used in
the case of our MYC analogue (see the ESI†).
