CCP4MG generated electrostatic surface potential maps of PlyC CHAP, XlyA, and their mutants. Surfaces are color-coded according to electrostatic potential (calculated by the Poisson-Boltzmann solver within CCP4MG). The color of the surface represents the electrostatic potential on the protein surface, going from blue (potential of +10kT/e) to red (potential of -10kT/e). (a) Electrostatic surface potential of PlyC CHAP WT, CHAP +1, and CHAP +7 in different orientations. The active-site of PlyC CHAP is in a neutral groove observed in the far right column. (b) Electrostatic surface potential of XlyA and XlyA+5K in different orientations. The active-site of XlyA is in a negative groove observed in the far right column.
