Figure 4
Electron density for SERCA ligands at different resolutions. Upper panels depict the nucleotide-binding site (region 1 in Fig. 1b) and lower panels the Ca2+-binding site (region 2 in Fig. 1b). Green mesh, mFo − DFc map after refinement without any ligands contoured at 3.0σ. Refinements with resolution cutoffs lower than 3.4 Å were restricted to 13 rigid-body groups, whereas refinements including data to 3.4 Å resolution or higher included individual atom coordinates and B factors. The expected ligand positions are superposed on all panels for Ca2+ and on the last panel for Ca2+–AMPPCP (PDB entry 3n8g
). For a quantification of the density coverage around the ligands, see Supplementary Figs. S3 and S4. |
