Figure 4.
Figure 4. Q[B] binding sites of RCsph. All pictures are represented in stereoview. (a) Arrangement of the cofactors Q[A] and Q[B], subunits H, L, M and the location of the membrane in RCsph. The colouring scheme is: H, L, M subunit (dark grey), cofactors Q[A] (red), Q[B] (orange). The approximate position of the membrane is indicated by the light grey square. (b) Refined electron density for the Q[B] binding pocket. The 2F[o] – F[c] map is contoured at 1σ. (c) Simulated-annealing omit map omitting Q[B] contoured at 1σ. (d) Superposition of ubiquinone in the Q[B] binding pocket. Colour code and PDB entries: red, 1YST;^43 light green, 1AIG;^45 dark green, 1AIJ;^45 blue, 1RG5;^44 orange, present structure 2GNU.
