Figure 3
Isomorphous difference density is shown contoured at ±3.5 r.m.s. (positive density green, negative density red), revealing an extended conformational change that is most likely a consequence of iron reduction. (a) The backbone model of rubredoxin is shown; the side chains of cysteine, aspartate and glutamate residues are depicted as sticks. (b) Close-up view of the FeS4 site. (c) Close-up view of the vicinity of Trp37. (d) Close-up view of Tyr13. |
