Figure 4
Coordination of sodium cations (purple spheres). (a) The Na+ cation bound in subunit A of the Ade/2′-dAdo complex. The coordination bond (dashed lines) distances are listed in Table 6. (b) The Na+ cation bound in the core of the Ade/2′-dAdo complex (the Na–Wat coordination-bond distances are listed in Table 7). Hydrogen bonds are represented by red dashed lines. In both panels, the Fo − Fc OMIT electron density was calculated without the contribution of Na+ to Fc and contoured at 5σ. The domains are colour-coded as in Fig. 1. Water molecules are represented as red spheres. |
