Figure 2
(a) Stereoview of the structural comparison between PsTx and Pdc. Ribbon models of PsTx and Pdc are shown in cyan and magenta, respectively. Amino-acid residues that differ between PsTx and Pdc are indicated by side chains and are labelled. The Na+ ion-binding site at the bottom is shown with the side chains of the coordinated residues (labelled) and the bound Na+ ion as a purple sphere. (b) A close-up view of the Na+ ion-coordination geometries in Pdc with 2Fo − Fc electron-density map contoured at 1.5σ. |
