Figure 3.
Ligand binding by Diels–Alderase 1E9 (A), 1E9dm (B), and the steroid-binding DB3 (C). (Left) Proteins are shown in the same orientation to demonstrate the distinct shapes of the combining sites and the different ways in which the respective ligands are bound. Light yellow, 1E9 TSA; cyan, progesterone; orange, 5β-androstane-3,17-dione and two ordered water molecules. (Right) 2D schemes of the ligand binding modes are shown. Green, polar residues; brown, hydrophobic; blue-lined circle, basic; red-lined circle, acidic; gray dashed line, proximity contour; fuzzy blue, ligand exposure; blue underlayed circle, receptor exposure; green arrow, side chain donor; olive line, solvent contact.
