Figure 3.
Figure 3. The active and binding sites of BoNT/B. a, Stereo view of the active site environment. Zinc and bonds to its coordinating residues are shown in orange. Residues in the first shell around the zinc (the immediate surroundings) are shown as ball and stick models, while residues in the second shell and water molecules are shown as ball and stick models with their van der Waals surfaces as dotted surfaces. Hydrogen bonds are shown as thin blue lines. b, Stereo view of sialyllactose and the residues interacting with it. Residues from a symmetry related molecule are shown in blue. Potential hydrogen bond contacts are shown as dashed lines.
