Figure 4. The electron density for each of the ALAD ligands bound to Lys263: (a) substrate ALA at 1.7 Å res- olution; (b) laevulinic acid (LA) at 1.6 Å resolution; (c) succinylacetone (SA) at 2.0 Å resolution; and (d) 4-keto- 5-amino-hexanoic acid (KAH) at 1.64 Å resolution. All maps are contoured at 1.0 rms. The Lys263 side-chain can be seen behind the inhibitor moiety. The two confor- mers adopted by ALA and LA are coloured slightly different shades of green in (a) and (b).
