Figure 6 (Ta[6]Br[12])^2+-binding sites. The four CSBP molecules arranged as in the crystallographic asymmetric unit are coloured green (A), blue (B), red (C) and yellow (D). The (Ta[6]Br[12])^2+ clusters are marked using orange Ta spheres and violet Br spheres. (a) An overview of the relation between the four CSBP molecules and the five (Ta[6]Br[12])^2+ ions. The symmetry-related protein molecules that complete the (Ta[6]Br[12])^2+-binding sites have been omitted for clarity. (b) Close-up view of the binding details of two representative (Ta[6]Br[12])^2+ ions. The binding site of the TBR2 ion is shown on the left. The same interactions are observed for the TBR1 binding site. The binding site of the TBR4 ion is shown on the right. A similar environment is observed for TBR5. The amino-acid residues located in the vicinity of the (Ta[6]Br[12])^2+ ions are shown in stick representation.
