Figure 5.
Figure 5. View of the extracellu- lar side, showing an extensive hydrogen-bonding network of side- chains and water molecules, as well as the alternate conformation of Glu194. Not only is the hydro- gen-bonding network between the Schiff base and the proton release group broken, but Arg82 is now in a downward configuration with hydrogen bonds towards the pro- ton release group similar to what is observed for M intermediates. Somewhat long hydrogen bonds exist from Arg82-NH2 to water 408 (3.44 Å ) and from Arg82-NH1 to water 409 (3.25 Å ).
