Abstract
The three-dimensional structure of cadmium-substituted concanavalin A has been refined using X-PLOR. The R factor on all data between 8 and 2 A is 17.1%. The protein crystallizes in space group I222 with cell dimensions a = 88.7, b = 86.5 and c = 62.5 A and has one protein subunit per asymmetric unit. The final structure contains 237 amino acids, two Cd ions, one Ca ion and 144 water molecules. One Cd ion occupies the transition-metal binding site and the second occupies an additional site, the coordinates of which were first reported by Weinzierl & Kalb [FEBS Lett. (1971), 18, 268-270]. The additional Cd ion is bound with distorted octahedral symmetry and bridges the cleft between the two monomers which form the conventional dimer of concanavalin A. This study provides a detailed analysis of the refined structure of saccharide-free concanavalin A and is the basis for comparison with saccharide complexes reported elsewhere.

Fig. 6. The S1 (Ca 2+) and $2 (Cd 2+) metal sites. Both sites have octahedral-like geometry with Aspl0 capping an axial position of the Ca 2÷ ion. Aspl9 and Aspl0 are bound to both metals. Asp208 is shown and it makes hydrogen bonds with WC which are thought to stabilize the cis peptide. The two metal ions are separated by 4.18/~,.
