Figure 2.
Figure 2. Comparison of CA^N loop conformations. CA^N residues 86 -93 are shown as a stick representation with side chains truncated to the C atom (except for proline) and carbon atoms colored yellow or orange (trans) and green (cis). For all figures, the minor (20% occupied) cis conformations of AMA-A and AMA-A' are not shown unless explicitly stated. CypA is shown in a ribbon representation with the Arg55 side chain shown explicitly. (a) Stereo view showing all eight CA^N structures that adopt the trans conformation. The four structures that contain Gly89 are colored yellow; the four Ala89 structures are colored orange. (b) Same as a but for all eight cis CA^N structures. (c) Comparison of AAG-A (trans, yellow) and AMG-A (cis, green). (d) Same as c, but top view. CypA molecular surface colored red. A model for the transition state is shown with the carbon atoms colored white. Hydrogen bonds between CypA Arg55 and CA^N Pro90 N and O atoms are shown as dashed lines.
