Figure 4.
Figure 4. Superposition of the wild-type pH 8 (T-state) and pH 4.8 (R-state) models at the molecular interface shows how the change in the position of residue E227 affects its interaction with R64 . The pH 8 model is shown with light bonds and pH 4.8 model with dark bonds. In the R-state model, E227 forms ion pair interactions across the molecular interface with R48 and R64 . R64 also forms an interaction with D231. In the T state, interactions with E227 are not observed. R64 only interacts with D231, and R48 is disordered.
