Binding of H2TPPS at the carbohydrate-binding site of jacalin. (a) Stereo drawing of the conformational changes seen in the jacalin (brown) molecule on porphyrin (blue) binding. The corresponding side-chain conformations in the absence of porphyin seen in case of native jacalin are depicted in yellow. (b) Stereo drawing of the hydrogen-bonding correspondence between the porphyrin and the galactopyranoside ligands of the jacalin protein. The respective hydrogen bonds are shown in ligand colours. |
