Figure 3.
FIG. 3. A, the SpnHL binding site for L-ascorbic acid 6-hexadecanoate. Hydrogen bonds are represented as dotted lines. Shown is the final sigmaA-weighted omit map electron density calculated to a resolution of 1.65 Å when the inhibitor was excluded from the model and contoured at 2.0 . B, schematic diagram of interactions of L-ascorbic acid 6-hexadecanoate with SpnHL. Hydrogen bonds are represented as dotted lines. Other residues shown form hydrophobic interactions with the inhibitor. The figure was made with LIGPLOT (35). C, binding mode of hexasaccharide substrate. The coordinates of the hexasaccharide substrate originate from its complex with SpnHL (Protein Data Bank code 1loh [PDB] (54)). D, binding mode of L-ascorbic acid 6-hexadecanoate. The cryoprotectant xylitol molecule close to the inhibitor (see text) is also shown (bottom right corner).
