Figure 1.
FIGURE 1. Plant GCL shows unique structural features. Front
and side views of BjGCL shown in ribbon representation. The
central -sheet is depicted in
dark blue, the N- and C-terminal helical regions in light blue,
and the plant unique arms in dark and light green, respectively.
The L-glutamate bound in the active site is represented in bond
representation along with the Mg^2+ ion (in cyan). The two
disulfide bridges CC1 and CC2 are highlighted in yellow; the
-hairpin module is shown
in red.
