Figure 2.
Fig. 2. Experimental electron density maps. (A) An F[o] F[o] electron density map (blue net) contoured at 4.0 shows density corresponding to CCA-pcb (green) in the P site and sparsomycin (yellow). Additional density corresponds to altered conformations of nucleotides such as A2637 (orange). (B) F[o] F[o] electron density map of CCA-pcb shows that in the absence of sparsomycin, the P site substrate is bound equally between the P site (green) and the A site (red).
