Figure 6. The conformational change in the P-loop of Sa_ArsC (a) The 2F[o]–F[c] electron density map contoured at 1σ of the P-loop of Sa_ArsC C10SC15A (PDB code 2FXI). (b) The P-loop active site of Sa_ArsC C10SC15A harbouring a sulphate molecule (PDB code 2FXI) (green) with the peptide bond between Gly12 and Asn13 in a left-handed α[L] conformation. On top is the P-loop (PDB code 1JFV)^8 (salmon) that binds a perchlorate (not shown) with the peptide bond between Gly12 and Asn13 flipped to a β conformation is visualized.
