Figure 3.
Figure 3. Drawings showing the three agonists and their interactions with the S1S2J protein. (a) 2-Me-Tet-AMPA, (b) ACPA, and (c) Br-HIBO. The bonds of the protein are displayed in yellow and the bound agonists bonds are in blue. Water molecules are shown as red spheres, while remaining atoms are in standard atomic colours (carbon is black, oxygen is red, nitrogen is blue, and bromine is green). Broken lines indicate all potential hydrogen bonds or ionic interactions within 3.3 Å. Radiating spheres indicate hydrophobic contacts within 3.9 Å between carbon atoms in the agonist and neighbouring residues. The only exception is in (c), where hydrophobic contacts between the bromine atom and neighbouring residues are displayed. The binding site of protomer A was employed for (a) and (b), and the binding sites for protomers B and C have similar structures. This Figure was prepared with the program Ligplot.[55.] (d) F[o]−F[c] omit electron density map contoured at 3.0σ for S1S2J:2-Me-Tet-AMPA, S1S2J:ACPA, S1S2J:Br-HIBO, and S1S2J-Y702F:Br-HIBO was prepared by BOBSCRIPT.[56.]
