Figure 1.
Figure 1. Stereo views of the cdMMP-13/TIMP-2 complex (blue ribbon, catalytic domain; orange ribbon, TIMP-2), optimally overlaid with the formerly determined cdMMP-14/TIMP-2 complex (grey rope, catalytic domain; green rope, TIMP-2).^25 Helices, strands and selected loops of the cdMMP-13/TIMP2 complex are labelled. Due to their more similar conformation, essentially both catalytic domains are superimposed. The MMP-13 catalytic domain differs in that the N-terminal segment nestles against the proteinase surface, forming a surface-located salt-bridge, and by lacking the characteristic MT-loop. (a) Front view. (b) Side view. Figure 1.
