Figure 5. A: Calcium binding loop of molecule B with the final |2F[o] - Fc| electron density for the calcium ion drawn at 4 . The calcium coordinations with loop residues, Asp 49, phosphate ion and the water molecule are also indicated. B: Superposition of the calcium binding loops of molecules A (green) and B (yellow). The calcium free loop of molecule A adopts a narrow conformation. C: Calcium binding loop of molecule A. The arginine 31 from molecule B is also shown. The intraloop hydrogen bond between Cys27 O and Gly33 N is indicated by green dotted line. D: The final |2F[o] - Fc| electron density for the calcium ion drawn at 4 at the interface of the two molecules. Calcium coordinated intermolecular interactions are indicated by dotted lines. The coordination is sevenfold with trigonal bipyramidal geometry.
