Figure 3.
Figure 3. Stereoscopic diagram of the PGHS monomer. The structural domains are colored as follows: the EGF-like domain, green; the membrane-binding domain, yellow; and the catalytic domain, blue. The cyclooxygenase inhibitor a-methyl-4-biphenylacetic acid is depicted as an orange space-filling model, and glycerol molecules are depicted as pink space-filling models. PGHS features three sites of glycosylation, Asn68, Asn144, and Asn410. The carbohydrate molecules are shown in yellow ball-and-stick representations. Several molecules of the non-ionic detergent b-OG (black and red ball-and-stick) used in the crystallization of PGHS are bound near the membrane-binding domain. This Figure was prepared using MOLSCRIPT.[85.]
