Figure 5.
The steric hindrance at Sγ of βMet40 caused by tBuNC. The
refined structure around βMet^40 in the nitrosylated NHase
without (A) and with (B) tBuNC. Yellow, blue, red, and green
spheres represent carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur atoms,
respectively. The black and red dashed lines indicate the
distances between Sγ of βMet^40 and the isonitrile carbon and
between Sγ of βMet^40 and the amide oxygen of βMet^40.
