Figure 1.
FIGURE 1. A F[o] - F[c] electron density map (contoured at 3.5 , purple cage) at the active site when the side chain of His-11 and the ligand are omitted. A (structure 1), co-crystallized with 2,3-BPG at 4 °C. B (structure 2), co-crystallized with 2,3-BPG at 16 °C for less than 16 days. C (structure 3), only 3-PGA binding. D (structure 4), co-crystallized with 2,3-BPG at 16 °C for 17 days. Extra F[o] - F[c] electron density (contoured at 3 , blue cage) exists when two water molecules and 3-PGA are modeled in. E (structure 5), co-crystallized with and 3-PGA.
