Electron-density maps of hA2AR's four disulfide bridges (Cys71–Cys159, Cys74–Cys146, Cys77–Cys166 and Cys259–Cys262). (a) and (c) show the 2mFo − DFc (blue mesh, contoured at 1.5σ) and mFo − Fc (green and red meshes, contoured at ±3σ) electron-density maps around the hA2AR four disulfide bonds in complex with theophylline and LUAA47070, respectively. (b) and (d) show the omit 2mFo − DFc (blue mesh, contoured at 1.5σ) and mFo − DFc (green and red meshes, contoured at ±3σ) electron-density maps when the disulfide bridges are omitted/broken. Here, strong positive electron density is seen where original disulfide bridges were formed. The hA2AR residues in complex with theophylline and LUAA47070 are represented by yellow and green sticks, respectively. Pictures were prepared in PyMOL. |
