Figure 5. DntR–ligand interactions. Stereoviews showing substrate–protein interactions for the acetate-bound crystals (a) and for the models of DntR containing salicylate (b) and 2,4-DNT (c) in the inducer-binding cavities. The surface defined by protein residues is shown in light purple. Both side-chain and main-chain atoms of amino acid residues that line the inducer-binding cavity are shown in ball-and-stick representation with carbon atoms coloured grey, oxygen atoms red and nitrogen atoms blue. Acetate, salicylate and 2,4-DNT are also shown in ball-and-stick mode with carbon atoms coloured yellow, oxygen atoms red and nitrogen atoms blue. Water molecules are shown as red spheres. Direct and water-mediated hydrogen bonding interactions are shown as green and yellow broken lines, respectively.
