FIGURE 6. Electrostatic surface representations of the NAP structures. A, electrostatic surface of the molybdenum funnel face of the various NAP structures. B, electrostatic surface of the presumed NapB interaction face of the various NAP structures. Electrostatic surfaces were calculated in the program GRASP (28) and displayed in PYMOL (Delano Scientific). The "surface potentials" of color property scale -10 (red, negatively charged) to +10 (blue, positively charged). Coordinates for D. desulfuricans NAP, PDB file 2NAP. Coordinates for R. sphaeroides NapA, Protein Data Bank (PDB) file 1OGY. The structures of E. coli, D. desulfuricans, and R. sphaeroides were aligned using Swisspdbviewer 3.0 ("Magic Fit"). D.d, D. desulfuricans; E.c, E. coli, R.s, R. sphaeroides.
