Figure 3.
Figure 3. (a) The network of hydrogen bonds between the cofactor FMN and protein. The enzyme is drawn by a ball and stick model. Hydrogen atoms are omitted from this Figure for clarity. Each atom is colored according to atom type (carbon of protein in silver, carbon of FMN in yellow). Protein residues and N5 and N1 atoms of FMN are labeled. Hydrogen bonds are indicated with red broken lines. (b) Electron density of FMN and surrounding residues from a 2 F[o]−F[c]map contoured at one σ. The FMN and its phosphate atom as well as some surrounding residues are labeled. In this and all subsequent Figures, the one letter code for amino acid names is used for enhanced clarity.
