Figure 3.
Figure 3. Stereo picture of the electron density of the substrate complexes. The coordinates of the substrate molecules benzoic acid and propionic acid were left out of the entire refinement and all map calculations in order to reduce model bias. The density of the (2F[obs]−F[calc]) map is contoured at the 1.0 σ level and colored green, the density of the (F[obs]–F[calc]) difference map is contoured at the 4.0 σ level and colored blue. (a) Stereo picture of the electron density for the complex of CPO-T with benzoate. Residual electron density at Ser98 indicates the alternative, lower occupancy, side-chain conformation. (b) Stereo picture of the electron density for the complex of CPO-F with propionate.
