Figure 8. Stereo view representation of a modelled enzyme IIA-HPr complex. With knowledge of the phosphorylation site, the family of NMR structures of P-HPr (PDB code 1PFH coloured in red) was docked into the crystallographic model of enzyme IIA. The P-HPr ensemble of structures was rotated around the apical axis (red line) to minimize clashes and short contacts between the two proteins. Residues possibly involved in electrostatic interaction are Glu64[IIA] and Arg17[HPr]. Sidechains of His78[IIA], His82[IIA] and P-His15[HPr] are displayed and coloured by atom type.
