Fig. 2. Ribbon diagram of the structure of E. coli. MalK homodimer with bound ADP-Mg2+.(A) Schematic diagram showing the subunit structure of a monomer. The NBD (residues 1-235) is in green/cyan and RD (residues 236-371) in yellow. Different colors further distinguish the subdomains or segments in the NBD as follows: green, RecA-like subdomain (residues 1-87 and 152-235); cyan, helical subdomain (residues 88-151). (B) Stereoview of the homodimer viewed down the local twofold axis. ADP is represented in ball-and-stick model (O atoms, red; N atoms, blue; C atoms, yellow; P atoms, orange; and magnesium, purple). Walker A motif is colored in red. The color schemes for the domains of the two monomers are similar, except that one is rendered in lighter color. (C) Stereoview of the homodimer obtained by a 90° clockwise rotation of the structure shown in B about a horizontal axis. Missing residues are shown as dashed lines.
