Figure 2.
Fig. 2. Residue Tyr106 predominantly adopts the outside conformation in CheY95IV instead of the double conformations seen in the wild-type structure (10). Shown here is a stereo view of the final 2F[o] F[c] electron density map (contoured at 1 ) of the Tyr106 side chain for the structure of CheY95IV. The outside conformation of Tyr106 in CheY95IV fits well in this density (shown in black). For comparison, the inside conformation from the wild-type structure is displayed in red. Note that this conformation has a strained C[ ]-C[ ]-C[ ]angle of 135°, which is roughly 20° off the ideal value for this bond angle. Val95 is shown in its two conformations (green and black lines) as inferred from the electron density at this position.
