Figure 4.
Figure 4 Stereoviews of inhibitors (2), (3) and (4) at the enzyme active site. Unbiased F[obs] - F[calc] electron-density maps showing the inhibitors and metal ions are contoured at 3 . (a) The MnII-form selective inhibitor (2) with the MnII-form enzyme. (b) The MnII-form selective inhibitor (3) with the MnII-form enzyme. (c) The CoII-form selective inhibitor (4) with the CoII-form enzyme. For clarity, only the five conserved residues forming the common dinuclear metal site (Asp97, Asp108, His171, Glu204 and Glu235) plus His79 and His178 are shown. Protein residues are colored grey for carbon, red for oxygen and blue for nitrogen. Inhibitors are colored the same way, except that carbons are yellow, sulfurs orange, chlorines green and fluorines cyan. MnII ions are shown as green spheres, while CoII ions are shown as magenta spheres. Water molecules are shown as smaller red spheres. Hydrogen bonds and metal interactions are shown as black dashed lines.
