The active-site loop and important residues involved in the XDH/XO
conversion. Differences in active-site structure of the XDH (A) and
XO (B) forms are shown. The active-site loop (Gln-423–Lys-433),
which moves during the conversion from XDH to XO, is shown in green, and the
linker connecting the Mo and FAD domains is shown in orange. Trp-336, which
has different configurations in the XDH and XO forms, is shown as a red
ball-and-stick model.
