Molecular interactions of D-glutamate. (a) 3D representation of D-glutamate and the amino acids in the active site. An omit mFo − DFc map (Terwilliger et al., 2008View full citation) contoured at 1.5 r.m.s.d. is displayed as a green mesh. (b) 2D representation of the hydrogen bonds that each D-glutamate molecule in the MurI dimer forms to the surrounding amino acids and water molecules. D-Glutamate (centre) is highlighted in blue; hydrogen bonds are shown as dashed lines with lengths marked; amino acids are marked in three-letter code with side chains highlighted in green; water molecules are shown as pink circles.
