Figure 2. Schematic representation of the hydrogen bonds between the B. circulans strain 251 CGTase and a maltononaose inhibitor bound at the active site. In this work the subsites will be numbered according to the general subsite labeling scheme recently proposed for all glycosyl hydrolases [Davies et al 1997], in which the glycosidic bond between -1 and +I is the scissile bond, and the substrate reducing end is at position +2. This scheme is the inverse of that used in earlier work of our groups.
