The global conformational changes are highlighted first, with cartoon representations of each of the six structures in the Mn2+ transport cycle starting from the outward-open Mn2+-bound conformation rotating through the occluded Mn2+-bound, inward-open Mn2+-bound, and then the metal-free states transitioning back to outward-open Mn2+-bound form. The second set of scenes then focusses on the orthosteric site, cycling through the structures in the same order to illustrate the distinct coordination geometries of the bound Mn2+, and the corresponding positions of its interacting ligands (protein residues and water) in the metal-free states.
