Figure 3. A view of the structure of the DR307A mutant iron(II), succinate and CO[2] complex. (a) A similar view to that in Figure 2, with the above residues omitted for clarity. The electron density map is contoured to 1.29s; (b) close up view of the CO[2]-binding site with succinate and the side-chains of Val262 and Phe264 enclosing one face. The remaining face of the molecule is bordered by residues in the C terminus, the conformation of which may be significantly different in solution (see the text for a discussion). The electron density map is contoured to 1.69s.
