Figure 2. (a) Diagram showing the secondary structure elements in TM1459 superimposed on its primary sequence. -Hairpins are depicted as red loops. Residues coordinating the metal ion are marked with blue dots. (b) The active site of TM1459 showing the proposed manganese ion (Mn), its coordinating residues (His52, His54, His58, His92, and two waters) and Cys106, adjacent to the unidentified density modeled as UNL, is depicted in ball and stick. The atoms are indicated as follows: carbon (grey), oxygen (red), nitrogen (blue), sulfur (orange) and manganese (purple). Metal-ligand bonds are represented as dashed yellow lines.
