Figure 2
The coordination group Zn CCCC 3 3 8 showing its conformation in 1het_A 97 (green) and in 1e3j_A 96 (blue). The coordinating cysteines are labelled C96 in the blue chain, C97 in the green chain etc. 1het
is an alcohol dehydrogenase; 1e3j
is a ketose reductase. The backbone atoms of residues of the first two chelate loops, CCC 3 3, have been superposed using the program LSQKAB from the CCP4 suite (Collaborative Computational Project, Number 4, 1994); their conformations are the same, r.m.s. displacement 0.23 Å, whereas there are marked differences in the larger chelate loop, CC 8. This figure was prepared using MOLSCRIPT (Kraulis, 1991) and RASTER3D (Merritt & Murphy, 1994). |
