Figure 2. Peptide deformylase in complex with the reaction
product Met-Ala-Ser. a, Peptide binding scheme; Gly 45, Glu
88, Gly 89, His 132 and Glu 133 are conserved residues. Dashed
lines indicate hydrogen bonds. Mean distances between donor and
acceptor atoms as observed in the three crystallographically
independent monomers are given in Å . The distance between
the N-terminal amino group of the peptide to the Ni^2+-ion is
3.9
Å. b, Protein atoms (white, carbon; red, oxygen; dark
blue, nitrogen; green, sulphur) and catalytic metal (magenta,
Ni^2+) are depicted as space-filling spheres. Met-Ala-Ser is in
ball-and-stick representation with carbon atoms and bonds
colored yellow. Water molecules W1, W2 are shown as small light
blue spheres. Figure prepared using MOLSCRIPT^26 and Raster3D^27.
