Protein Structure from Scientific Research

Comparison of the chromophore binding pocket of CBD-PHY armless (red) and CBD-PHY (yellow) in the dark crystal structures reveals that the organization of residues in the chromophore binding pocket is highly similar. Some of the amino acids crucial for the photocycle are shown in sticks. Only the BV of CBD-PHY armless structure is shown in ball-stick presentation (blue) for clarity. PDB codes:4O0P(CBD-PHY Pr12),5C5K(CDB-PHY Pfr14), and8BOR(CBD-PHY armless).
