Figure 3 The iodide ions in the Fab15A9-PPL-L-Ala structure. A [sigma] [A]-weighted F[obs] - F[calc] electron-density map omitting the iodide ions is contoured at the level of 2 [sigma] and superimposed on the active-site structures. (a) Stereoview of the non-occupied active site of the Fab15A9-PPL-L-Ala complex. One iodide ion takes the place of the phosphate group in one molecule of the asymmetric unit. (b) The conformation of CDRH3 is stabilized by an iodide ion. In each molecule of the asymmetric unit, one iodide ion makes four 3.0-3.8 Å interactions with the NH groups of His97 and His99, TrpH100e N [epsilon] 1 and AsnH100a N [delta] 2. (c) One iodide ion interacts with the two molecules of the asymmetric unit. At the corresponding position in the other molecule, one iodide ion is involved in a crystallographic contact.
