Figure 2. Stereo view of a ball- and -stick model of the heme and some residues with Im-omitted F[o]–F[c] map. The map is shown in green and contoured at 5σ. The heme exists in a six-coordinate form with His82 and Im ligands. Im is located in the hydrophobic pocket formed by the C-helix and the N-terminal region (from M5 to L7). The N-terminal amino group (N) of Im-bound Ch-CooA is located 16 Å from the heme iron. Carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur atoms are shown in grey, blue, red and yellow, respectively.
