Figure 2.
Crystal structures of MutT apo and MutT-8-oxo-dGMP complex forms. A, overall structure of MutT. α-Helices are in pink, and β-strands are in slate. A missing region of L-A is shown as a gray dashed line. B, overall structure of MutT-8-oxo-dGMP. 8-Oxo-dGMP is shown in ball and stick representation. C, comparison of the structures of the apo and complex forms. Apo and complex forms are shown in gray and slate, respectively. L-A and L-D regions in MutT-8-oxo-dGMP adopt a closed conformation as compared with those in the apo form.
