Figure 2.
Fig. 2. a, simulated-annealing omitted F[o] F[c] map of coenzyme A. The map was contoured at 3 sigma. b, the interactions between coenzyme A and GlcB. The coenzyme A is shown in white, and the carbons of the interacting amino acids are in gold. The malate and magnesium ion in the active site are also shown. c, binding of coenzyme A to the active site of GlcB. Surfaces were made around the protein atoms and colored according to the electrostatic potential, red for acidic, and blue for basic residues, and were made using the program SPOCK (66). Mg2+ in the active site is shown as a blue sphere.
