Figure 11
Electron-density omit maps (FoFc) of the active-site regions of PTEs. The two Zn2+ ions and the OPs were omitted from the calculations. (a) Methylphosphonate was observed in the C23M_2 structure. (b) O-Ethyl methylphosphonic acid was observed in C23_5. However, the electron density could only account for the first C atom of the OCH2CH3 substituent. (c) O-Ethyl methylphosphonic acid, the hydrolysis product of O-ethyl-O-(N,N-diisopropylaminoethyl) methylphosphonate, was observed in the C23_4 structure. (d) O-Isopropyl methylphosphonic acid was observed in C23_2. The interatomic distances observed between the O atoms of the P—O bond in all OP acid products are 1.9–2.0 Å. The FoFc omit map, contoured at 3σ, is shown in green. The six residues that bind to the two Zn2+ ions are shown as stick representations, with C atoms colored yellow, N atoms blue, O atoms red and P atoms orange.
