Figure 3.
Fig. 3. The zinc binding site of SEA co-crystallized with Zn2+. A, tetrahedral zinc co-ordination in molecule one (yellow) in the asymmetric unit. Note that the use of His61 from the neighboring molecule (cyan) as zinc ligand leads to the loop 59-63, absent in the SEA-Cd^2+ structure, here becoming ordered. B, tetrahedral zinc co-ordination in the second molecule of the asymmetric unit. The three high affinity SEA ligands are used and in addition a water molecule^ (H[2]O) is used as the fourth Zn2+ ligand. The figures were drawn using Molscript (30) and Raster3D^ (31).
