Figure 2.
Fig. 2. Stereo C[ ]plots of apo (black) and Fe^3+-soaked (cyan) and holo forms (red) of ovotransferrin N-lobe. The figures are produced with MOLSCRIPT (30) and Raster3D (31) as the superimposed ones on domain N2. The holo (Fe^3+- and CO[3]^2 -loaded ovotransferrin N-lobe) structure is drawn using the previous data (8). The apo structure of ovotransferrin N-lobe is the one employed as the model for the current structural determination of the Fe^3+-soaked form (see "Experimental Procedures"). The residue numbers are labeled for the Fe^3+-soaked form. The iron atom (green sphere) and the side chains (blue) of His^250, Asp^60, Tyr^92, and Tyr^191 (from top to bottom in this order) for the Fe^3+-soaked form are also displayed.
