FIGURE 2. Stereo view of nitrite bound to the type 2 copper ion in RsNiR. a, at pH 6.0 showing full occupancy and with 2F[o] - F[c] electron density contoured at level 1.0. b, at pH 8.4 with half-occupancy and with 2F[o] - F[c] electron density contoured at level 0.9. The flexibility of His-287 at pH 8.4 can be seen as a rotation of the imidazole ring (b).
