Fig. 2. Structure of the CBD2 Ca^2+ site. (A) The Ca^2+-binding sites of CBD2. The main chain is shown as blue ribbons. The two Ca^2+ ions and seven water molecules are depicted as green and red spheres, respectively. Primary and secondary Ca are labeled Ca1 and Ca2, respectively. Coordinating residues are displayed as a stick representation and colored by atom type (carbon, yellow; oxygen, red; nitrogen, blue). Interactions of residues with the Ca^2+ ions are represented by black dashed lines. (B) Ca^2+-free structure. Contacts (salt bridges with carboxyl residues and a hydrogen bond with a water molecule) with Lys^585 are shown with dashed black lines. The main chain is shown as yellow ribbons.
