Figure 5
The chromophore Thr65-Trp66-Gly67 in the dominant cis state (shown in orange) and the proximal key residue Lys61 in FoFc electron density (cutoff ρ = 3.0σ) at pH ∼9.0 (a), pH ∼4.8 (b) and pH ∼7.0 in the photoconverted structure (c) (figure created with PyMOL; DeLano, 2002BB2). The electron density reveals the alternative conformations of the Thr65 and Lys61 side chains, the presence of trans-state contamination of the Trp66 indole ring (shown in yellow; pH ∼4.8) and the decomposition of the Lys side chain after blue-light illumination.
