Figure 3.
Structure of insulin-bound IDE. A, global view of the structure of insulin-bound IDE-CF-E111Q monomer. IDE domains 1–4 (IDE-D1 to IDE-D4) are colored green, blue, yellow, and red, respectively. Insulin A and B chains are colored magenta and cyan, respectively. The zinc ion is colored gray. B, composite omit map of insulin contoured at 1.5σ. C, electrostatic surface representation of insulin and IDE. The molecular surface is color-coded as calculated by Adaptive Poisson-Boltzmann Solver. The molecular surface is colored as calculated by Adaptive Poisson-Boltzmann Solver (51) (<–6 kT in red, 0 kT in white, and >+6 kT in blue). The interaction surface between the N- and C-terminal domains of IDE and insulin is marked by yellow dashed lines based on the contact residues displayed using CCP4 molecular graphics (30).
