Comparison of the structures of BcGH3 from in situ and cryo-cooling data. (a) A ribbon diagram of the presumably active site of the BcGH3 structure from in situ data. Most residues lining the active site are drawn in stick format. Magenta mesh shows 2FoFc electron-density map contoured at 1σ. Only one water molecule drawn as a small sphere is assigned, which forms two hydrogen bonds to protein atoms including an interaction to D336. (b) A ribbon diagram of the same active site of the BcGH3 structure from cryo-cooling data. Green mesh shows 2FoFc electron-density map contoured at 1σ. A number of water molecules mediate a hydrogen-bond network. A new peak in the electron density in the active site is interpreted as a glycerol molecule with a double conformation. The glycerol molecule is colored with its C atoms in magenta.
