Impact of the heme cofactor on the JK-loop conformation (with the cofactor, cyan; without the cofactor, green). R.m.s.d. (a) and r.m.s.f. (b) analysis of the JK-loop according to cofactor occupancy. (c) R.m.s.d. of the C-terminal part of the JK-loop according to cofactor occupancy. (d) Conformation of the C-terminal part of the JK-loop according to the presence of the heme cofactor. Opening of the JK-loop is illustrated with the heme (left) and without the heme (right) as obtained from 200 ns of MD simulation at 310 K and 1 bar. |
