Rotation of the His39 side chain in response to small-molecule binding. (a) In the presence of glycerol (magenta) or ethylene glycol (green), the His39 side chain is rotated relative to its position in the crystal structures of either WT PaDsbA1 (blue) or E82I PaDsbA1 (orange) in the absence of a small molecule at the active site. (b) Glycerol (GOL) and ethylene glycol (EDO) bind at the same site in E82I PaDsbA1 and make equivalent hydrogen-bond contacts to His39. |
