Figure 1. Views of the complex between Cdc42 and the wild type Cdc42GAP. a, A ribbon diagram of the overall complex; Cdc42 is in yellow, Cdc42GAP is in blue. The disulfide bridge is in green. GDP, the Mg^ 2+ ion, the nucleophilic attacking water and the AlF[3] molecule are shown in ball-and-stick representation. The switch I and II loops of Cdc42 are highlighted. The catalytic arginine (Arg 305) from Cdc42GAP and the highly conserved Gln 61 from Cdc42 are also shown. b, Ribbon diagram of the C-terminal domain of Cdc42 in complex with Cdc42GAP. This domain is stabilized by the disulfide bridge between Cys 105 and Cys 188 and by the hydrogen-bond interactions between the side chains of Arg 187 and Asp 76 (represented by two dotted lines). Figures were prepared using MOLSCRIPT^30 and Raster3D^31.
