(a) Structured monoolein lipids in LntEco-C387A decorate the surface of the protein in a manner reminiscent of the membrane bilayer and the portal between the bulk membrane and the enzyme active site. Lipid molecules in the portal line up in single file and are individually numbered from 1 to 4. Lipids are shown in stick representation. Cys387Ala is coloured magenta. (b) Expanded view of lipids arranged in single file in the portal facing into the active site and of lipids (shown in stick representation) at the surface of the enzyme. (c) Lipid binding to the surface and in the portal of the enzyme. Enzyme shown in surface representation with hydrophobic residues in light blue and polar residues in grey. Orthogonal views presented in left, middle and right panels. An expanded view of lipids (shown as spheres) in the portal is shown in the right panel.
