Subscripts indicate the region in which the residue is located (Fig. 1). I, N-terminal domain; II, C-terminal domain; H, hinge; δ and ε, imidazole nitrogen that coordinates Zn2+.
Numbers in parentheses indicate the PCS histidine to which the SCS residue is hydrogen bonded.
Glu in B1, His in B2.
Gln in both designs, hydrogen bonding in B2 only.
