Confirmation of cadmium-ion substitution. Electron-density maps of the region surrounding the phosphate groups of ATP in the PfActI-G1 complex structure. (a) Placement of cadmium ion (cyan) leads to agreeable electron density and reasonable B-factor values. 2FoFc (marine) and anomalous difference (purple) maps are shown around the cadmium ion and ATP phosphates. The 2FoFc map is contoured at 3.5σ and the anomalous difference map is contoured at 18σ. (b) The resulting FoFc map is shown as green and red meshes and contoured at 3σ. (c) A calcium ion (magenta) placed and refined with full occupancy led to a very low B factor and remaining positive density. Even at a higher σ level, a clear positive density is observed at the metal position. The FoFc map is shown in green and red meshes and contoured at 5σ.
