Figure 5. Molecular surface and active-site architecture of PANAT and MSNAT.

Figure 5

Molecular surfaces were calculated for both PANAT (A) and MSNAT (B) using the program Aesop [M. E. M. Noble, unpublished work; details available from M. E. M. N. on request (martin@biop.ox.ac.uk)]. Hydrophobicity was then calculated for each surface and underlying protein using the program GRID [50]. Surfaces are coloured on identical scales of increasing hydrophobicity from grey through green to yellow. Underlying secondary structural elements of PANAT (blue) and MSNAT (orange) and the active-site cysteine (ball and stick mode) are also shown.
