Figure 3.
FIGURE 3. Details of ligand binding in nsP2Ox[ACT] and His6-H167A[2FG]. Side-by-side view showing the active site in the nsP2Ox[ACT] complex (A) and the His[6]-H167A[2FG] complex (B). In B, the carbohydrate is positioned for oxidation at C3. Firm interactions are noted for the C3 hydroxyl group and the side chains of His^548 and Asn^593. The substrate loop is highlighted in magenta. Atom-coloring scheme: carbon, beige (protein), yellow (FAD), green (ligand); nitrogen, blue; oxygen, red. C, superposition of the active sites in nsP2Ox[ACT] (beige) and His[6]-H167A[2FG] (green).
