Figure 6. Stereo view of a model of UMP bound to the active site of the PyrR monomer from the dimer crystal structure. Protein residues implicated in catalytic activity and/or UMP coordination are shown with black bonds; UMP is shown with white bonds; carbon atoms are white; oxygen, nitrogen and phosphorus are shaded. Potential hydrogen bonds between the UMP base and protein are shown as dashed lines. One of these hydrogen bonds is to invariant Arg138 in the dimer loop. The figure was prepared with the program MOLSCRIPT [71].
