Figure 3: Transmembrane Ca^2+-binding sites (I and II) and the movement of the M1 helix.
a, E1 2Ca^2+; b, E1 AMPPCP; c, superimposition of E1 2Ca^2+ (violet) and E1 AMPPCP (atom colour) in stereo view. Cyan (a–c) and violet spheres (c) represent bound Ca^2+; red spheres indicate water molecules in the crystals. Owing to the resolution limitation of the diffraction data, no water molecules are shown in b. Dotted lines in c show the coordination of Ca^2+ and hydrogen bonds involving E309 and D800 side chains.
