Figure 4.
FIG. 4. Acyclic form of FBP docked in the active site and superposition with MBP bound structure. The ketohexose-P[2] was docked manually by superposition onto the determined MBP structure, shown in Fig. 3A. The modeled structure was then subjected to 2000 steps of conjugated gradient minimization with CNS using topology and parameters from PRODRG. Hydrogen bonding patterns (green dashes) were conserved when compared with those in FBP and MBP enzyme adducts. The only significant difference with respect to the observed enzyme adducts is an additional hydrogen bond made by Glu-187 with FBP O[2]. The orange dash illustrates the putative nucleophilic face si attack made on FBP C[2] carbonyl by Lys-229. Orientation is similar to Fig. 1.
