Comparison of AtzA with the alternative atrazine chlorohydrolase TrzN. (a) Superposition of an AtzA monomer (green) and a TrzN monomer (cyan). (b) Superposition of the active sites of AtzA (green) and a TrzN monomer (cyan). The active-site metals (Fe2+ and Zn2+; shown in orange and grey, respectively) are shown and the AtzA metal-binding ligands are labelled in green. The unique threonine (Thr325) of TrzN, which is equivalent to Asp327 in AtzA, is also labelled in cyan. |
