Figure 3.
Superposition of the backbones of AurA/TPX2/VX-680 (gold) and AurA/TPX2/ADP (gray, pdb: 1ol5) structures focusing on the different conformations of the glycine-rich loop. The C[alpha] of Phe144^AUR in the AurA/TPX2/VX-680 structure has moved by >8 A. The VX-680 carbons are in yellow, the ADP carbons in green, oxygens in red, nitrogens in blue, sulfur and phosphorus in orange. The side chain of Phe144 is shown in stick form.
