Comparison of conserved residues binding UDP-[3-F]Galf 4 in conformation A (above) and conformation B (below). Arg 280, Tyr 314 and Tyr 349 are favorably positioned to stabilize negative charges on UDP in conformation A but not in conformation B. Presumably, such stabilization assists in the departure of UDP during the catalytic reaction.
