Figure 2.
Binding of VX-680 in the active site of AurA/TPX2. (A) The electron density of VX-680 contoured at 1.5[sigma] from the final 2fo-fc map. The AurA carbons are shown in green, inhibitor carbons in yellow, oxygens in red, nitrogens in blue, sulfur in orange, and water molecules in light blue. (B) Interactions of VX-680 with the active site of AurA when TPX2 is bound. The backbone tracing is in gray and hydrogen bonds are shown as dotted black lines. (C) Interactions of VX-680 with the active site of AurA without TPX2 bound (adapted from Cheetham et al. 2007 and reprinted with permission from Elsevier [copyright]2007).
