-From the curved model of the hook (see below), here is a short segment just three Flg31 monomers long (<scene name='The_Bacterial_Flagellar_Hook/Flagellar_hook_3rings_pdb_gz/3'>restore initial scene</scene>). Each color represents one of the 11 protofilaments. Since each protofilament is 3 monomers in length, there are 33 monomers in this model. You can see how the Flg31 monomers fit into the hook when <scene name='The_Bacterial_Flagellar_Hook/Flagellar_hook_3rings_pdb_gz/2'>two monomers are highlighted</scene>.

-The monomers are slightly larger and more tightly packed than indicated in this model, because this model contains only alpha-carbon atoms.
+The monomers are slightly larger and more tightly packed than indicated in this model, because this model contains only alpha-carbon atoms. Also the hole in the center is much smaller because this model lacks the D0 domain that occupies the core of the hook filament.
