Figure 8.
FIGURE 8. Clip to fit. The schematic picture of the nucleotide binding pocket illustrates the simple and energy-saving nucleotide binding mode, enabling the rapid nucleotide exchange necessary for a functional reaction cycle. Highlighted are the residues Phe^377, Lys^395, Arg^317, and Arg^382. Asp^344 is represented as a negative charge at the bottom of the binding pocket by a red circle.
