Figure 3. Putative active site of UDP-galactopyranose mutase. a, Electrostatic plot of the surface of the protein. The structure is orientated as Fig. 2a. The positive patch on the surface is identified as the binding site for the negatively charged sugar nucleotide substrate. Figure generated with GRASP36. b, Close-up stereo view of the substrate binding cleft. The orientation is as Fig. 2a. The absolutely conserved residues and the flavin are shown in stick format. The color scheme is as Fig. 2b.
