Figure 4. The OXA-10 homodimer. a, Stereo view of a ribbon representation43 of the observed OXA-10 homodimer. One monomer is in green and gold, the other in blue and red. The two cobalt atoms that lie at the dimer interface are shown in dark blue. The active site residues Ser 67 and Lys 70 are shown in ball and stick representation. It should be noted that the active site of each monomer lies on the same face of the dimer and are 40 Å apart. b, Stereo view of the coordination of the cobalt atoms (blue) by the coordinating ligands Glu 227 and His 203 within one monomer and Glu 190 within the second monomer. Two ordered waters (small spheres) complete the approximate octahedral coordination of each cobalt. The refined temperature factor of each cobalt atom is 19.5 Å2.
