Fig. 7.
On the left, the structural comparison of AML (mustard yellow) with PLA degrading T.alba cutinase Est119 (green; PDB: 6AID) focusing on the catalytic residues. The superposition was performed in PyMol using Cα atoms with default parameters. The catalytic triad residues, shown as stick models H 247/256; D 215/224 and S169/178 are seen to overlap in this model. Ethyl lactate (EL) and lactic acid (LAC) were presented as stick models in white. On the right, is the structural comparison of AML (mustard yellow) with PLA degrading T.alba cutinase Est119 (green; PDB: 6AID) showing residues of the substrate recognition site, subsites I and II.
