Figure 2.
FIGURE 2. The active sites of the BphK-GSH-HOPDA ternary complex (A) and the BphK-(GSH)[2] ternary complex (B). Residues comprising the active site, the bound HOPDA, and the GSH molecules are shown as ball-and-stick models. Carbon atoms are colored yellow (GSH and HOPDA) and orange (amino acid side chains), nitrogen atoms are colored blue, oxygen atoms are colored red, and sulfur atoms are colored green. Secondary structures of the two monomers comprising a homodimer are colored in cyan and slate. Average distances are indicated beside dotted lines. C, stereo image of the superposition of the active sites of the BphK-GSH-HOPDA and the BphK-(GSH)[2] complexes. Side chain carbon atoms from the BphK-GSH-HOPDA complex are colored beige, and the GSH and HOPDA carbon atoms are colored yellow. Side chain carbon atoms from the BphK-(GSH)[2] complex are colored orange, and the carbon atoms of the two GSH molecules are colored cyan. In both structures, oxygen atoms are colored red, nitrogen atoms are colored blue, and sulfur atoms are colored magenta.
