Figure 1.
Fig. 1. Stereoviews of FBPase active sites. A, complex of Mg2+, F6P, and orthophosphate at pH 7 (control complex). B, complex of Mg2+, K+/Zn2+, F6P, and metaphosphate at pH 7 (high K+ complex). C, complex of Mg2+, F6P, and metaphosphate at pH 9.6 (high pH complex). Electron density (blue) covers metaphosphate/hydroxide anions or orthophosphate at a contour level of 3 , using a cutoff radius of 1 Å. Anomalous difference density (red) covers site M1 at a contour level of 3 , using a cutoff radius of 1 Å. MOLSCRIPT (39) and RASTER3D (35) were used for the illustration.
