Figure 4. (a) Superposition of the (2|F[o]|−|F[c]|), α[c] map onto the refined structure of I222 streptavidin-biotin, pH 2.00, 1.36 Å resolution, showing the binding site of biotin and its interaction with Trp120 of a neighboring subunit. Residues hydrogen bonding to biotin are labeled in yellow font. (b) Superposition of the (2|F[o]|−|F[c]|), α[c] map onto the refined structure of I222 streptavidin-2-iminobiotin, pH 3.25, 1.39 Å resolution. Residues hydrogen bonding to the ligand are labeled in yellow. Tyr43 is discretely disordered between two well-defined conformations involving a rotation of 5° in χ1. (c) Superposition of the (2|F[o]|−|F[c]|), α[c] map onto the refined structure of I222 streptavidin-glycoluril, pH 2.50, 1.40 Å resolution. Residues hydrogen bonding to the ligand are labeled in yellow. Normal hydrogen bonds mediating ligand binding are shown in yellow, and the NH → πTrp108 hydrogen bond in white. Note that Leu110 is discretely disordered.
