Figure 2. Comparison of mouse ADH2 subunit A (orange) with horse liver ADH1 apo (green) and holo (blue) subunits. C^a chains of the individual coenzyme-binding domains are superpositioned. Coenzyme-binding domains are to the left and the catalytic domains to the right. Zinc atoms and NADH are depicted in purple and brown, respectively. The three structural segments with insertions, deletions and high rms deviations as compared to other ADH structures are colored red and denoted V1-V3 (V1, residues 55-61; V2, residues 114-121; V3, residues 294-307). The mouse ADH2 A-subunit is semi-open about half way between the open apo and the closed holo form of horse liver ADH1.
