Figure 7.
Changes in the position of the C helix and heme ligation upon CPI binding shown in divergent (walleye) stereo. Residues in helix C (ribbon) alter positions significantly between the 2B4 open (green) and the CPI closed (blue) conformations, resulting in the loss of a hydrogen bond to the D ring propionate in the open conformation. Hydrogen bonds between the D ring propionate and helix C residues are indicated by dashed lines. Residues Arg-98 (R98), Ser-430 (S430), Arg-434 (R434), and His-369 (H369) have smaller changes in their positions and are labeled once near the base of the side chain.
