FIGURE 3

Hydrogen bonding contacts between protein residues and propionate oxygens of the heme. Arg-128, Arg-372, and Arg-437 form salt bridges to the propionate groups via main-chain and side-chain hydrogen atoms, and the side chain of Ser-433 forms a hydrogen bond to the propionate oxygen. Only hydrogen atoms involved in salt bridge/hydrogen bonding are shown.
