Fig. 4. LpxD–FA complex. (A) Identification of bound FA. GC-MS analysis, chain length, and saturation states are indicated, and the key shows the relative percentages. (B) Surface view of conserved residues with ligands depicted as sticks. Palmitic acid is colored cyan, and UDP-GlcNAc is colored according to atom type: C, white; N, blue; O, red. Conserved residues are colored by type; basic residues are blue with the exception of His-247 and His-284, which are colored green. Acidic residues are red, aromatic residues are salmon, glycine residues are yellow, polar residues (Asn, Gln, Ser, Thr, and Cys) are slate blue, and aliphatic residues (Ala, Ile, Val, Leu, Met, and Pro) are magenta. Colored residues that form part of the FA and UDP-GlcNAc binding pockets include Gly-262, Gly-280, Gly-265, Ala-246, Ile-263, Ala-264, Asp-240, and Gln-244.
