Fig. 4. Conformational changes induced upon ferrichrome-iron binding. Superposition of the -carbon coordinates of FhuA and its complex with ferrichrome-iron illustrating the ligand-induced conformational changes observed in the cork domain. The cork domains of FhuA and its complex with ferrichrome-iron are shown in purple and yellow, respectively. The barrel strands (shown in blue) are represented as thin lines for clarity of the cork domain. Apices A, B, and C and Glu19 are labeled (34).
