Figure 6. Distortion of pyridoxal-5'-phosphate in the active site of BALC PSAT. Atomic coordinates of PLP and Lys196 side chain from the model H are presented in black. In gray, the superimposed planar conformation of the PLP molecule from the atomic resolution structure of BALC PSAT is shown (PDB accession code 1W23). The figure was produced using MOLSCRIPT (Kraulis 1991) and Raster 3D (Merritt and Murphy 1994).
