Fig. 2. Aligned active sites of human [1] and [3] ADH. A stereo diagram of human [3] (thick lines) and [1] (thin lines) structures in the vicinity of amino acid 369. The structures were aligned by superposition of all their respective C atoms. R.m.s differences for alignment of [3] to [1] are 0.25 Å for all C atoms. Alignments of individual subunits or domains yielded r.m.s values of 0.19 Å for the C atoms within subunit A, 0.17 Å for the C atoms within the coenzyme domain, and 0.20 Å for the catalytic domain of the A subunits; the corresponding values for alignment of the B subunits are 0.25, 0.19, and 0.24 Å.
