Figure 3.
Figure 3 (a) A schematic diagram with the numbering scheme of PLP. (b) Stereoview of the active site of the yeast protein P007. The cofactor and residues involved in the active site are shown as a ball-and-stick model along with the C^ trace of the protein. The cofactor PLP is covalently bound to Lys49 and makes a hydrogen bond with Arg239. The phosphate group interacts with Ser224 and Thr242. The O3 of the pyridine ring makes a hydrogen bond to Asp70.
