Figure 4. Binding mode of PL-D2 to tri-N-acetylchitotriose in the crystal of the PL-D2 complex. Parts of three PL-D2 molecules binding a tri-N-acetylchitotriose molecule (yellow) are shown: two independent molecules (A, sky-blue; B, green) in the asymmetric unit, and A' (pink), in the next asymmetric unit, which is related to A by a crystallographic 2[1]-screw axis. The tri-N-acetylchitotriose molecule is shared mainly between domain I of molecule A' and domain II of molecule A, and interacts with Ser9 of molecule B.
