Figure 5.
Fig. 5. (a) Maps showing the binding of C[6]F[5]I to selenium-substituted L99A. The isomorphous difference map has amplitudes (F[obs,complex] – F[obs,L99A]) and phases from the refined structure of L99A. It is shown in red, and contoured at 3.0σ. C[6]F[5]I has density for the bound ligand and, due to the replacement of Met102, with the more electron-dense selenomethionine (top left). The map based on the anomalous scattering differences, contoured in green, is contoured at 3.0σ. (b) Electron density maps, as in panel a, for C[6]H[5]I bound to selenomethionine L99A. The ligand occupies the position shown as well as one rotated 180°.
