Figure 2. The binding site of the nucleotide purine base in rmCK2 . a, The AMPPNP−rmCK2 complex and b, the GMPPNP−rmCK2 complex. The nucleotide molecules, the two magnesium ions and some important water molecules are shown in green electron density and the interdomain hinge region of the protein is shown in blue electron density. All pieces of electron density are drawn from (2F[o] - F[c]) density maps above a level of 1.2 . Important hydrogen bonds are marked by magenta dotted lines with donor-acceptor distances given in Å. For comparison, the black nucleotide is GMPPNP in (a) and AMPPNP in (b). The comparison shown is after the three-dimensional fit of the protein matrices together with the most important water molecules (large black balls) in its environment.
