Figure 6.
Figure 6. Stereo diagram of the BcnI active site in complex with DNA. BcnI active site residues are shown in all-atom representation, metal ions are presented as black and grey spheres, and some key water molecules are shown as red spheres. The 5′-end of the DNA is on the right and the 3′-end is on the left. The 2F[o]–F[c] density was contoured at 1.5 σ and is shown only around the DNA and the nucleophilic water molecule. The assignment of the metal ion that is shown without detailed coordination is very uncertain.
