Figure 4.
Fig. 4. Binding mode of acarbose to amylomaltase. (A) Acarbose bound to the active site cleft and (B) acarbose near Tyr54. Oxygen atoms are shaded grey and nitrogen atoms black. Hydrogen bonding interactions are shown by dashed lines and the interatomic distance is given. (A) and (B) were prepared using LIGPLOT [55]. (C) Superposition of selected active site residues of the amylomaltase–acarbose complex (carbon atoms colored yellow) and a mutant Bacillus circulans CGTase bound to a maltononaose substrate (PDB entry 1cxk [45]). Only the glucan residues bound to subsites -1 and +1 are shown (programs MOLSCRIPT [52] and RASTER3D [53]).
