Structure of C. difficile alanine racemase. (a) Monomer of C. difficile alanine racemase. Ribbon diagram with α-helices in orange and β-strands in green; the PLP cofactor bound to Lys39 is shown as magenta sticks. (b) Dimer of CdAlrK271T. One monomer is shown in blue ribbon and the second is depicted as a green ribbon and surface. The PLP adduct, Llp39, is shown as magenta sticks. (c) Superposed ribbon structures of monomers of CdAlrPLP (blue), CdAlrK271T (grey) and CdAlrcycloserine (orange). Llp39 is shown as magenta sticks and DCS is shown as blue sticks. |
