Figure 2 Agonist and antagonist binding modes. a, The 3.1-Å resolution, six-fold averaged electron-density map (using model phases) for the ER LBD-E[2] complex. b, The experimental, 2.6-Å resolution electron-density map for the ER LBD-RAL complex after DMMULTI multicrystal averaging. In both cases, the map is contoured at 1 and overlaid on the final refined models. c, d, Schematic representation of the interactions made by E[2] (c) and RAL (d) within the binding cavity. Residues that interact with ligand and/or line the cavity are shown in theirapproximate positions. Those that make direct hydrogen bonds are depictedin ball-and-stick style with broken lines between the interacting atoms.The hydrogen-bond distances shown are averaged between the six (E[2]) or two (RAL) monomers. The atom names and ring nomenclature of E[2] are also given.
