Figure 8.
Figure 8 Representation of the HSO b[5] (a) and CYT b[5] (b) heme axial ligand environments. The heme is shown in all-bonds representation, with the iron in green. The axial histidines are in all-bonds representation, with the red dots depicting the interactions between the Fe atom and the N 2 atoms of the axial histidines as well as the hydrogen bonds between the carbonyl O atoms and the N 1 atoms from the axial histidines.
