Figure 4
Hydrogen-bond linkages in the inter-helical regions of HptB. The diagrams illustrate the hydrogen bonds (yellow dashed lines) in the inter-helical regions between (a) helices α1 and α2; (b) helices α2 and α3; (c) helices α3 and α4; (d) helices α4 and α5. Carbon, nitrogen and oxygen atoms of the residues involved in the hydrogen-bond linkages are shown as white, blue and red sticks, respectively. Most interactions occur through main-chain atoms of residues. With the exception of Asp48 (at position −9 from the active-site histidine His57) and Pro91, the side chains of residues have been omitted for clarity of the main-chain interactions. The distances listed are the corresponding values averaged over the six molecules in the asymmetric unit. The conserved residues involved in the hydrogen-bond linkages are labeled with numbers in parentheses to indicate their positions from the active-site histidine His57. |
