Figure 6.
Figure 6 Interactions of the bound methionine with SGAP as demonstrated in a schematic diagram of the active-site region of the SGAP-Met complex. The protein bonds are shown in blue, the bound methionine (Met) bonds are shown in orange, the Zn atoms are shown in purple, while the rest of the atoms are in the standard atomic colors. Dashed lines indicate hydrogen bonds or ionic interactions, while `radiating' spheres indicate hydrophobic contacts between the bound methionine (small spheres) and the neighbouring protein groups (larger spheres). [This figure was prepared with the program Ligplot (Wallace et al., 1995[Wallace, A. C., Laskowski, R. A. & Thornton, J. M. (1995). Protein Eng. 8, 127-134.]).]
