Figure 2.
Figure 2. Molecular architecture of G203AG[iα1]. (a) Helical segments are shown as green ribbons and β strands as blue arrows; secondary structural elements near the catalytic site are labeled, GDP and Pi are shown as ball-and-stick models. Switch regions (Sw) are labeled (I–IV) and ‘N’ and ‘C’ mark the locations of residues 34 and 343, respectively. (b) A superposition of the Cα traces of the G[iα1] subunit bound to GDP (blue), G[iα1]bound to GTPγS–Mg^2+ (red), and the GDP–Pi complex of G203AG[iα1] (green). The Cα atoms of residues 40–178 and 220–340 were used to generate the superposition. Figure 2. Molecular architecture of G203AG[iα1].
