Additional structural changes due to altered amino acid side chains involved in the formation of the chloride ion coordination shell. With Phe332 as a starting point, these changes extend via Met182 all the way to the active site amino acid Trp165, which is in direct contact with the substrate (S)-reticuline. Wild-type carbon amino acids are colored gray, and the corresponding amino acids of the His174Ala variant are colored green.
