Figure 3. Stereo view of the superposition of the closed structure of TmPGK (black) with the open structure of BsPGK (red). The central water of the TmPGK structure is shown in blue. A large motion of residue Thr374 (Thr371; BsPGK) towards Arg36 causes a subsequent reorientation of the C-terminal residues Gly375-Gly377 (not labelled). The closed conformation is locked by an inter-domain salt bridge between Arg62 and Asp200 (green). The difference between the inter-domain angles in TmPGK and BsPGK, a[TM] and a[BS], respectively, is 21°.
