Figure 3. Radiation disruption of the active-site disulfide in HvTrxh2. Stereo images of HvTrxh2[OX] (A) and HvTrxh2[RED2], 80% reduced (B), showing a close-up view of segment Cys46–Cys49. The 2F [o]–F [c] electron density maps are shown as gray isosurface mesh at the 1.0 level. (C) HvTrxh2[RED1] with the 1/V | F(h)[RED1] – F(h)[RED2] | e^i ^RED2(h) e ^–2 i(h – r) difference electron density contoured at the 7 level. Significant negative (red) density represents areas where the HvTrxh2[RED2] structure has a higher level of electron density than the HvTrxh2[RED1] structure, and positive (green) electron density, the opposite. For HvTrxh2[RED1] and HvTrxh2[RED2] structures, Cys46 and Cys49 are modeled and shown in two alternative conformations (for oxidized and reduced states).
