Figure 2.
Figure 2 The metal-binding site of PPE. The metal site is shown in red, the traces of loop 58-70 in grey and the atoms of the amino acids and water molecules coordinating the metal in dark blue (Na[2]SO[4] complex) and light blue (sodium citrate/CaCl[2] complex). The two structures were superimposed so that the metal coordinates are identical in both cases. This figure was also prepared using the programs MOLSCRIPT (Kraulis, 1991[Kraulis, P. J. (1991). J. Appl. Cryst. 24, 946-950.]) and Raster3D (Merritt & Bacon, 1997[Merritt, A. E. & Bacon, D. J. (1997). Methods Enzymol. 277, 505-524.]).
