Figure 4.
Ca^2+-binding site of BdbD.A, detailed view (contoured at 1.2 σ) of the Ca^2+-binding site of sBdbD, showing monodentate ligands Gln^49 and Glu^115, bidentate Asp^180, and three crystallographically ordered water molecules. B, an ideal capped octahedral site for comparison with that observed in BdbD. Positions of the idealized capped octahedron correspond to the following: I, Gln^49O-ϵ; II, Glu^115O-ϵ; III–V, waters; VI and VII, Asp^180O-δ1 and Asp^180O-δ2. Ca^2+-ligand distances are indicated.
