FIGURE 8. View of the O^6-BzG:T active site superimposed on the wobble O^6-BzG:ddC-1 pair. A, stereo view of the active site from the O^6-BzG:T ternary complex is shown superimposed on the O^6-BzG:ddC-1 structure (r.m.s. deviation = 0.390) with Dpo4 in schematic diagram form (O^6-BzG:T (ruby), O^6-BzG: ddC-1 (light blue)). The O^6-BzG:T pair is shown with cyan carbon atoms, and the O^6-BzG:ddC-1 wobble pair is shown with dark blue carbon atoms. The O^6-BzG:T calcium ions are red, and the O^6-BzG:ddC-1 calcium ions are dark blue. The incoming dGTP from the O^6-BzG:T structure is shown in ball and stick form (magenta). B, the p14T residue (cyan carbon atoms) is shifted up in the active site relative to p14ddC-1 (dark blue carbon atoms), and the benzyl group in the O^6-BzG:T structure is shifted slightly toward the proximal orientation.
