Figure 2.
FIGURE 2. Interactions between FMN and amino acid residues in the active site. a, schematic diagram showing contacts of the FMN cofactor to amino acid residues. Hydrogen bonds are shown as broken green lines (red residue numbers) and van der Waals' interactions by red shading (black residue numbers). Each atom element is represented by a sphere of different colors with a chemical symbol. b, SIGMAA-weighted 2mF[o] - DF[c] electron density maps surrounding the FMN. The map was calculated using the data of P4[2]2[1]2 crystal structure and is contoured at 1.2 . c, the electrostatic potential of AzoR is mapped onto the solvent-accessible surface, as calculated with GRASP. The FMN molecules shown in a and b are represented by a stick model, with color coding identical to that in Fig. 1.
