Fig. 6. Comparison of product release channels in structurally characterized qNORs.

Fig. 6

a Product release path of qNOR from Alcaligenes xylosoxidans (AxqNOR) from the binuclear center (top) to the cytoplasmic side (bottom). AxqNOR colored in green with residues lining the proposed path in AxqNOR shown as sticks. Fe atoms and water molecules are shown as orange and red spheres, respectively. Hydrogen bonds and metal coordination bonds are shown as black and red dashed lines, respectively. This scheme is used throughout the figure. b Product release channel in qNOR from Geobacillus stearothermophilus (GsqNOR) (PDB ID: 3AYG) colored in purple, with residues lining its proposed proton channel highlighted as sticks. Zn is shown as a gray sphere. c Product release channel in qNOR from Neisseria meningitidis (NmqNOR) colored in blue, with residues lining its proposed proton channel highlighted as sticks (PDB ID: 6L3H).
