Figure 1.
Figure 1. Ribbon plot of cdMMP-12 (yellow) displayed in standard orientation. The cdMMP-12 ribbon shown together with the bound batimastat inhibitor in the normal conformation, is superimposed with the catalytic domains of MMP-1 (red, PDB accession code 966C), MMP-2 (dark blue, lacking the fibronectin type II domains for clarity, 1QIB), MMP-3 (green, 1CAQ), MMP-7 (dark orange, 1MMQ), MMP-8 (gray, 1MMB), MMP-12 (yellow), MMP-13 (light blue, 830C) and MMP-14 (violet red, 1BQQ). The catalytic and the structural zinc ion and the three bound calcium ions are displayed as pink and blue spheres, respectively, and the three His residues liganding the catalytic zinc and the characteristic Met236 are shown with all non-hydrogen atoms. The Figure was made with BOBSCRIPT[55] and Raster3D. [56]
