Figure 3.
(a) Stereoview of the monomer of lactaldehyde dehydrogenase from E. coli. The active site loop containing the presumed catalytic nucleophile, C285, is magenta. The “Rossmann fold” (yellow), oligomerization domain (red), and cofactor binding domain (blue) are indicated. (b) Four monomers of lactaldehyde dehydrogenase assemble to form a tetramer with 222 point group symmetry. Figure generated with Pymol.49
