Figure 4.
FIGURE 4. The HemS conformational switch between apo, open state and liganded, closed state. The superposition was prepared as in Fig. 3. The heme complex is shown in green, and the apo-structure is shown in gold. The superposition shows the global interdomain movements in HemS that effectively clamp the ligand in the binding site. N-domain, N-terminal domain; C-domain, C-terminal domain.
