Fig. 1. Structure of IDO–PI complex. (A) Ribbon representation of the overall structure of human IDO. The small and large domains are represented by blue and green ribbons, respectively. The helices A–S are named in the order of appearance in the primary sequence. The connecting helices (K-L and N) are colored in cyan. The long loop connecting the two domains is colored in red. The heme (yellow), proximal ligand H346 (white), and heme inhibitor 4-phynylimidazole (white) are shown in a ball-and-stick model. The helices of the large domain create the cavity for the heme. The connecting loop (red) and small domain above the sixth-coordination site (heme distal side) cover the top of cavity on the heme. (B) The four proximal helices I, G, Q, and S run in parallel. The helices N (blue) and K-L (cyan) connect the two domains. The connecting loop (red) and small domain above the sixth-coordination site of the heme cover the top of the cavity on the heme.
