Figure 2. Close-up view of the hOGG1 active site region. a, Stereo view showing a A^48-weighted 2F[o] - F[c] electron density map modeled at 1 , with elements of the protein and DNA in ball-and-stick models. The oxoG is red; Lys249, purple; DNA, gold; and the C-N bond between Lys249 of hOGG1 and C1' of the substrate, pink. b, Least-squares superposition of the active site region of the borohydride-trapped complex (same color scheme as in (a), except side chains are shown in teal) with that of the recognition complex with the K249Q mutation and an intact oxo-dG lesion21 (PDB entry 1EBM) (gray except Gln249, which is green).
