Figure 2.
FIGURE 2. a, the structure of the EGC monomer. b, the electrostatic surface potential of EGC (red, electronegative; blue, electropositive; contoured from -15 to 1 kT/e). c, the hydrophobic surface potential of EGC (green, hydrophobic; white, polar). d, the structure of the -(1,4)-glucanase from Bacillus agaradherans, Cel5A (Protein Data Bank code 2A3H). e, the electrostatic surface potential of Cel5A (red, electronegative; blue, electropositive; contoured from -20 to 1 kT/e). Bound ligands, G[M3] (a and b) and cellobiose (d and e), are shown as ball-and-stick representations in yellow.
