FIGURE 6. The stereo view of the conformation differences in the putative active pocket between the wild type and the mutant (H52A) MDMPI. Mutant H52A is shown in purple and native MDMPI in green. Conformation differences were found at the side chains of Arg^82 and Trp^44. In H52A the metal ion was missing and a glycerol occupied the position of the metal ion, and the location of SO^2–[4] also changed. Furthermore, there is no obvious conformation changes observed, when compared with that of the wild type. The image was created by PyMol.
