Figure 5.
Figure 5. Close-up stereo view at the active site residues with sixfold averaged electron density. Nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, and carbon atoms are dark gray, medium gray, light gray, and white, respectively. The 2mF[obs] - DF[calc] total density is shown with weak line contours at a 1 level and the mF[obs] - DF[calc] difference density is shown with strong lines and contoured at 4 . The carboxylate groups of Asp 181 and Asp 187 are unexpectedly close but residual density present in between may indicate the presence of a positive countercharge, for example, a partially occupied Cd^2+ ion (not included in the model). This figure was made with BOBSCRIPT (Esnouf 1999).
