Figure 4. (a) Complexation of a sulfate ion on the three-fold axis by three Lys residues (Lys63) from the three chains of the trimer. View is along the threefold axis. Three of the sulfate oxygens are related by the threefold axis. The fourth, not shown, lies on the threefold axis. (b) View of the ion-pair network in the central channel centered on the sulfate ion. The electron density corresponds to the final sigmaa weighted 2Fo - Fc map, is drawn at a contour level of 1.0 and is carved around the sulfate, Lys63, Glu59, and Arg55.
