Figure 4.
FIGURE 4. The mjAK/L-threonine structure reveals two sets of threonine binding sites. Each L-threonine is positioned in the binding site by interactions between its functional groups and the enzyme. Inset A, the binding modes of two threonines at the A-B dimer interface site. This inset is rotated by 90° to provide a clearer view of the two bound threonines. Inset B, the binding of a single threonine with lower occupancy at the C-D dimer interface site. This inset is rotated by 180° to show the binding interactions at this site. Inset C, representative binding of threonine at the weaker secondary sites in each monomer, located adjacent to the active site.
