Figure 2
Nuclear density map showing protonation of His57 in trypsin. Left, difference density map showing protonation of Nδ of His57. Center, 2Fo − Fc nuclear density map with double protonation of His57 and negative density peaks for the unexchanged H atoms. Right, difference density map with the proton modeled on Asp102. The contour shows that the proton belongs on His57 (solid lines) and not Asp102 (dotted lines). Reprinted with permission from Kossiakoff & Spencer (1981), Biochemistry, 20, 6462–6474.
