Figure 3. Comparison of bound aminoglycosides and the chemical mechanism of acyltransfer by AAC(2')-Ic. a, Stereo view of the superposition of tobramycin (blue), kanamycin A (green), and ribostamycin (red) in the aminoglycoside -AAC(2')-Ic complexes. The five water molecules that are conserved in all three ternary complexes are shown as red spheres. Protein coordinates are from AAC(2')-Ic in complex with ribostamycin and CoA. b, Chemical reaction mechanism of AAC(2')-Ic based on the AAC(2')-Ic ternary complexes.
