Figure 4.
FIG. 4. Selected close-up views of native and mutant DHODAs. a, alignment of the subunit A of native DHODA orotate complex (violet) and the K213E(Oro) structure (green). FMN and orotate are shown as yellow and orange stick models, respectively. The figure visualizes the difference between the open active site loop and the closed active site loop. A different view of the active site highlighting the interactions between protein and orotate (in orange) is shown for the native orotate complex (b) and N67A(Oro) (c), with the FMN group colored in magenta. Hydrogen bonds are shown as black dotted lines and selected water molecules are represented as cyan spheres.
