FIGURE 3.
Stereo view of the hydrophobic interactions between the prosequence of the MTGase zymogen and the residues in the active cleft. The criterion that we adopted for the presence of a van der Waals interaction is that the distance between the atoms had to be <4.0 Å. The van der Waals contacts in this structure are weak, as the interaction distance is generally ∼3.5 Å.
