Figure 1: Functional characterization of Na^+,K^+-ATPase used for crystallization. a, The reaction cycle of the Na^+,K^+-ATPase^2, ^3 showing in red the form crystallized. b, Demonstration of ^86Rb^+ occlusion in the MgF[4]^2--bound form of the pig renal Na^+,K^+-ATPase from outer medulla. The dissociation of ^86Rb^+ from membranous enzyme pre-incubated with ^86Rb^+ in the absence (lowest panel) or presence (middle panel) of MgF[4]^2-, and from C[12]E[8]-solubilized enzyme preincubated in the presence of MgF[4]^2- (uppermost panel), was followed at 25 °C. Error bars, s.e.m.; n = 3.
