Figure 2. Sim-weighted electron density (2mF[o] -dF[c], blue at 1s) and difference electron density (mF[o] -dF[c], white at 2s and red at -2s) maps showing the rotation of Q181. The maps were calculated from a model of PKA (orange sticks) after refinement but prior to rotation of the side-chain. Green sticks depict the refined structure of the double mutant PKAB2. The density shows unambiguously how Q181 rotates to occupy the cavity near the V123A position and near the adenine-binding interaction sites.
