Zinc-bound PA4063 structure. (a) Superimposition of apo (yellow) and zinc-bound (blue) PA4063 from the hexagonal crystal form. The anomalous difference density map (orange mesh), contoured at 5σ, unequivocally locates two zinc-binding sites. (b) Superimposition of apo (green) and zinc-bound (magenta) PA4063 from the better-diffracting tetragonal crystal form. The difference map (mFo − DFc, green mesh), set to 3σ, confirms the position of the zinc ions. (c) and (d) show the details of zinc coordination in sites a and b, respectively. |
