Figure 1: Comparison of native and sulphenyl-amide PTP1B. a, Ribbon diagram of PTP1B. The phosphate-binding cradle is shown in red, the WPD loop in green and the pTyr recognition loop in gold. b, Superposition of native PTP1B (blue) and the sulphenyl-amide-containing structure (orange), showing different conformations of the pTyr recognition loop and the phosphate-binding cradle. c, Electron density of the catalytic cysteine and its neighbouring residues in reduced PTP1B (see Supplementary Information). d, Electron density of the newly identified sulphenyl-amide derivative of Cys 215. The electron density maps in c and d are contoured at 1 . All figures are generated using Aesop (M. Noble, Laboratory of Molecular Biophysics, University of Oxford, unpublished).
