Fig. 4. Quinone binding pockets and active site residues. (A) Stereoview of the Q[P] binding site shows Q[P] is bound in a polar pocket likely positioned just above the membrane bilayer. (B) Stereoview of the Q[D] site shows Q[D] is in a relatively apolar pocket within the membrane bilayer. (C) Binding site for the physiological inhibitor oxaloacetate adjacent to the FAD. Oxaloacetate lies beneath the isoalloxazine ring of the flavin. The flavin ring and inhibitor are shown superimposed onto a 2|F[o]| |F[c]| map contoured at 1 . The adenine has been omitted for clarity. Side chains that appear to interact directly with the inhibitor are labeled.
