The crystal structure of Av VnfDGK (A) and the carbonate-containing V-cluster (B). The protein is colored as follows: VnfD (green), VnfG (tan), VnfK (blue). The atoms of the V-cluster are shown as a ball-and-stick model, with the carbonate, R-homocitrate and protein residues shown as sticks. Atomic coloring: Fe, orange; S, yellow; V, dark grey; C, light grey; N, blue; O, red (PDB ID 5N6Y).
