Figure 5.Conformational Changes in the TM Region of AcrB
(A) Wire model of the superpositioned TM domains of subunit A and subunit C viewed from the periplasmic side. Subunit B is omitted since it displays a similar conformation as subunit A. The individual helices are labeled.
(B) Detailed interactions of the amino acid residues in the putative proton-translocation site viewed in the same orientation as in (A). Residues involved in the hydrogen-bonded network (dashed lines) are labeled. The |Fo-Fc| omit electron density map (blue mesh) of Lys940 in subunit C is contoured at 3.5 σ.
