Comparison of the sugars found in the catalytic site. When co-crystallized with G3 (above, orange), two cellotrioses were found on either side of the catalytic residue, with the chains separated by several water molecules. When co-crystallized with the G5F-contaminated cellohexaose substrate (below, blue) no cleavage was found. Furthermore, the fructose unit substituted the waters that were very well defined in the previous structure. |
