Figure 6.
Figure 6. The proposed roles of K53, K110 and E159 of sIGPS in catalyzing the conversion of CdRP to IGP. Hydrogen bond distances are given in Table 3. (*) Asymmetric carbon atoms generated transiently. The arrows show how the reactions are assisted by the indicated catalytic residues. See the text for details. (a) The substrate bound unproductively as observed in the sIGPS:CdRP complex ( Figure 3(c)), with C1-C2' DISTANCE=4.8 Å. (b) The intermediate I1 as in Figure 5(a). (c) The intermediate I2 as in Figure 5(b). (d) The sIGPS:IGP complex as in Figure 3(b).
