Models, from X-ray crystal structures, of the active sites of unliganded TbbTIM in the open form (cyan, PDB entry 5TIM) and the closed enzyme liganded by phosphoglycolohydroxamate (green, PDB entry 1TRD). Closure of loop 6 (residues 168 – 178) over bound ligand results in movement of the side chain of Ile-172 towards the side chain of Glu-167 and of this carboxylate side chain towards the side chain of Leu-232.
