FIG. 2. Structure of human galactose mutarotase. A ribbon
representation of the three-dimensional architecture exhibited
by the apoenzyme is shown in a. For clarity, only the major
strands of the -sheet are displayed.
Asterisks indicate the positions of cis-Arg-78 and cis-Pro-103.
The location of the active site is depicted in b as a
space-filling representation. Note that the 3-, 4-, and
6-hydroxyl groups of galactose, from left to right and indicated
by the red spheres, are solvent-exposed. The view is
approximately the same as displayed in a.
