Fig. 4. Structural details of the heme pocket in E. coli ferric unliganded flavohemoglobin. The heme molecule is shown in stereo together with a selection of amino acid residues within the pocket at 5 Å from the macrocycle. The phenolic ring of Tyr29-B10 located at >5 Å from the heme is also shown, whereas the Phe^43-CD1 is hidden for clarity. The picture was obtained with the program MOLSCRIPT (28).
