Figure 5.
Figure 5. Covalent binding of the 4-(2-aminoethyl)-benzene sulphonyl fluoride inhibitor (AEBSF, ball-and-stick representation: green, carbon; red, oxygen; and blue, nitrogen) towards the active site of DPIV. The Figures was were prepared using the program PYMOL (http://pymol.sourceforge.net/). (a) Surface representation of the DPIV residues around the active site. (b) Ball-and-stick representation of the DPIV residues (in light blue) and around the active site (beige). Intermolecular hydrogen bonds are given as broken black lines, the 2F[obs] -F[calc] electron density omit map (blue mesh, contoured at 1s) is given for the inhibitor and the Tyr547 phenolic group of DPIV.
