Figure 4.
FIG. 4. Samarium binding sites in SP-A. A, stereoview of the two sites in SP-A, where the bound lanthanide ions are shown as spheres and labeled 1 and 2 for primary and auxiliary, respectively. Coordination bonds appear as green dotted lines. B, comparison of primary (P) and auxiliary (A) sites by backbone superposition of CRD regions in SP-A (blue), SP-D (magenta), and MBP (yellow). SP-D and MBP coordinates are from PDB accession codes 1BO8 [PDB] and 1KWT [PDB] , respectively.
