Fig. 3. Structure of CmArsM.
The crystal structures of CmArsM with bound As(III) and bound SAM were superimposed, yielding a model in which the methyl group of SAM is poised for transfer from SAM to As(III) a distance of 5.2 Å. Arrow: The electron density of the As(III) binding residues are fitted with stick models of Cys72, Cys174 and Cys224.
