Figure 6
Molecular docking showing the binding mode of Mef1 and a hexameric fucoidan molecule (harboring the tetrasaccharide product). (a) Structural model of the Mef1 surface with the hexameric fucoidan ligand shown as a stick model; the water wire (red spheres) and calcium ions (orange spheres) are also shown. (b) A close-up of the CAPSO (transparent blue) and the ethylene glycol (EG; transparent blue) positions; after docking, the CAPSO (equivalent to CAPSO 1 in Fig. 3

h) and EG remain superimposed with the hexameric fucoidan molecule. (c) Magnification of a stick model of the active-site residues in close proximity to the fucoidan hexamer, with the scissile α(1,4)-bond indicated by a blue arrow. The CAPSO and EG positions are presented as transparent blue sticks.
