Figure 5.
Figure 5 Changed solvent structure in H3 Arg-116 mutants. (A) The 'van der Waals cup' formed by H3 Met-120, Pro-121, and Lys-122, holding the chloride ion. 2Fo-Fc electron density, contoured at 1 sigma, is shown in gold. (B) The same region is shown for H3 Arg-116-His (blue). Note the missing density for the chloride ion. (C) In H3 Arg-116-Ala, minor density is observed for the chloride ion, indicating only partial occupancy. (D) Superposition of the three structures, viewed from above with respect to the views shown in (A -C). Wild type is shown in wheat, and mutants in blue. The chloride ion is omitted for clarity.
