Interactions of amino acid residues with the substrate of HCS from Thermus thermophilus
(A) Interactions of the amino acid residues with the substrate 2-oxoglutarate (labelled as AKG383) and other amino acid residues around the active site of the HCS from Thermus thermophilus [9] complexed with alpha-ketoglutarate (PDB ID: 2ZTJ). (B) 3D format of the substrate 2-oxoglutarate. The bonds are represented by different colours: hydrogen bonds (blue), hydrophobic contacts (grey), Pi interactions (orange) and metal interactions (purple), respectively.
