Figure 2. Overlay of the aligned structures of ALDH2 with bound Alda-1 (yellow) and with bound daidzin (white, pdb entry 1vle).

Figure 2

The alignment was generated using PyMol and atom type coloring is utilized for both structures (white for carbon atoms in the daidzin structure and yellow for carbon atoms in the Alda-1 structure). The available molecular surface in this region for ALDH2 is displayed using the daidzin structure and the molecule is sliced above the plane of the bound ligands. Critical active site residues are labeled. The cleft through which the nicotinamide moiety accesses the active site lies to the left of Glu268 and Cys302 in this view and is labeled. Produced using PyMol for Windows25.
