Figure 5
Putative active site of BoSDR. (a) The putative active site of BoSDR is depicted with the secondary structure colored as in Fig. 2 (a). For clarity, only the active site of chain C is shown. C atoms are shown in cyan. Other heteroatoms are shown using standard coloring. For clarity, water molecules are not shown. A hydrogen bond (3.0 Å) between Lys167 and the 3′-OH of NAD+ is depicted. (b) A potential mechanism for the BoSDR-catalyzed reaction is shown based on the active-site architecture and the mechanism of other classical SDRs (Filling et al., 2002 ). For clarity, only the oxidation of an alcohol is shown. Here, R refers to the rest of the substrate molecule and R1 to the rest of the NAD+ coenzyme molecule. |
