Figure 3 Stereoviews of the peroxidase and cyclooxygenase active sites. (a) Superposition of the peroxidase sites of the Fe-PGHS and Mn-PGHS structures. The iron structure is shown in red and the manganese structure in blue. The protein backbone is represented by the yellow ribbon. (b) The Mn-PGHS structure, showing the anomalous difference Fourier map contoured at 6 [89][sigma] . The perspective of the viewer is similar to that in (a), but in (b) the porphyrin has been rotated slightly upward about a horizontal axis relative to the orientation shown in (a). (c) Superposition of the NSAID-binding sites of the 2.0 Å Fe-PGHS and Mn-PGHS structures (Gupta et al., 2004[90] [Gupta, K., Selinsky, B. S., Kaub, C. J., Katz, A. K. & Loll, P. J. (2004). J. Mol. Biol. 335, 503-518.]-[91][bluearr.gif] and this work); the color scheme is the same as in (a). The ligand in the Fe-PGHS structure is [92][alpha] -methyl-4-biphenylacetic acid (desfluoro-flurbiprofen). The flurbiprofen in the Mn-PGHS structure occupies two alternate positions of roughly equal occupancy, corresponding to two alternate positions for the F atom. The two fluorine positions are marked by asterisks. Two alternate rotamers are observed for the side chain of Ser530 in both the Fe- and Mn-PGHS structures.
