Figure 8 Schematic diagram of the active-site structures of the 2-hydroxyoctanoate and 3-indolelactate complexes of the G81A mutant form of MDH-GOX2. Hydrogen-bonding interactions between the carboxylate and hydroxyl O atoms and nearby side chains or water molecules are shown as dashed lines and the distances are in Å. Residues making hydrophobic contact to the ligand are indicated as shown at the bottom right. C atoms are black, O atoms red and N atoms cyan. Covalent bonds within the ligand are drawn with pink lines, while those within the protein are drawn with orange lines. (a) The 2-hydroxyoctanoate-G81A complex. The ligand is labeled `Octanoate'. (b) The (D,L)-2-hydroxy-3-indolelactate-G81A complex. The ligand is labeled `ILAC'. This diagram was prepared using the program LIGPLOT (Wallace et al., 1995[Wallace, A. C., Laskowski, R. A. & Thornton, J. M. (1995). Protein Eng. 8, 127-134.]).
