Figure 1.
Fig. 1. Crystal structure of PHS/L38E (pink, PDB accession code 3D6C) overlaid on the structures of PHS/L38K (blue, PDB accession code 2RKS) and PHS nuclease (white, PDB accession code 1EY8). (a) The global fold of the protein is not perturbed. The C^α atoms of Asp and Glu residues are shown as red spheres. Glu38, Lys38, and Glu122 are shown as sticks. (b) Microenvironment of Glu38 and Lys38. Ionizable residues within 8.4 Å of Glu38 are shown in stick, and hydrogen bonds are shown as broken lines.
