Figure 5.
Interactions of the metal-binding domain and disaccharide with the DNA. (A) Stereodiagram of the minor groove of DNA (gray) shown with the metal-binding (yellow with Co in green) and disaccharide (purple) domains and a modeled peroxide ligand (cyan) as a ball-and-stick model. Hydrogen bonds are represented as dashed lines with interacting O atoms in red and N atoms in blue. Intermolecular bonds are black, intramolecular bonds are blue, and magenta bonds represent interactions of the propionamide as modeled (the propioanamide is absent in electron density). The red stick indicates the connection to the linker domain. (B) Schematic showing the hydrogen-bonding interactions of the metal-binding and disaccharide domains in the minor groove with bonds colored as in A.
