Example 1: a GADα/glutarate complex

Based in part on Dutyshev, D. I., Darii, E. L., Fomenkova, N. P., Pechik, I. V., Polyakov, K. M., Nikonov, S. V., Andreeva, N. S. & Sukhareva, B. S. (2005). Structure of Escherichia coli glutamate decarboxylase (GADα) in complex with glutarate at 2.05 Å resolution. Acta Cryst. D61, 230-235 [1XEY].

The E. coli enzyme is pyridoxal phosphate dependent and functions as a hexamer. It is an isozyme: the organism has two genes, gadA and gadB. Glutarate is the chosen substrate analogue.

In the example below, the items in gray are identifiers and qualifiers needed to preserve the mmCIF data structure (and auto-generated during the deposition procedure), or other data items stored in the same category in a PDB deposition, but not normally published in the journal.

Wherever possible, one should distinguish within a CIF between items that are unknown, denoted by a query character (?), and those that are not applicable, denoted by a full stop character (.). The example below tries to preserve this distinction, but PDB depositions may not always be able to provide this discrimination.

_struct_biol.details
;   GAD-alpha is a hexamer.  In this structure, the hexamer sits
    on a threefold axis and there are two GAD-alpha monomers
    in the asymmetric unit.  Each binds one PLP covalently and
    one GUA as ligand, and is solvated by one ACT.
