Figure 3. The metal ion binding sites in (a) Slt35 and (b) carp parvalbumin B (PDB entry code 5cpv). (c,d) Superposition of the metal ion binding sites in Slt35 and parvalbumin B. Part (c) shows a close-up of the binding site, (d) shows the orientation and position of the EF-hand helices in the two proteins. Residues 90-98 of parvalbumin B (green) were superimposed on residues 237-245 of Slt35 (blue) with an rmsd of 0.32 Å 2 for nine Ca atoms. Residues of Slt35 that were not used in the superposition are shown in yellow. Helices E and F (green) belong to parvalbumin and the a helices H10 and H11 (yellow) are from Slt35.
