Figure 6
LigPlot+ representation of lactose binding to BgaR and arabinose binding to AraC. Lactose bound to BgaR is shown on the left and arabinose bound to AraC is shown on the right. In both cases, specific hydrogen bonds are made to the saccharides, as well as hydrophobic and stacking interactions. The residues at the N-terminus are involved in binding; when no saccharide is present the binding site opens and the N-terminus becomes disordered.
