Figure 3. A Two-State Model for INAD PDZ5
A detailed view of the binding pocket in oxidized and reduced states of INAD PDZ5 (A) and in the C645S mutant structure (B). Key specificity-determining residues (F642 and F649) on the α2 helix adopt significantly different conformations in the oxidized and reduced states; the C645S mutant is effectively locked in the reduced state structure.
