Figure 6. Stereoview of xylotriose docking model in subdomain b of XBD. The xylotriose structure was built based on the X-ray structure of b-1,4-xylan hydrate [Neduszynski and Marchessault 1972] and fitted into the binding site manually. Sugars are numbered from the non-reducing end. XBD residues interact with the 2nd xylose sugar through five hydrogen bonds (broken lines). The 2nd and 3rd sugar rings are placed over the aromatic rings of Tyr380 and Trp383.
