BPDO-O B1 bound to biphenyl. Stereo image of the active site of BPDO-OB1 with biphenyl bound. The biphenyl molecule is shown in yellow. A 1.0 σ 2Fo-Fc electron density map calculated without biphenyl present (unbiased) is shown in blue mesh for the biphenyl ligand. The residues that coordinate the mononuclear iron are shown in red, while the residues that form the active site pocket are shown in green. Black lines show distances between the biphenyl carbons and the mononuclear iron and red lines show distances between the biphenyl carbons and the water/hydroxide bound to the mononuclear iron. Left and center images are wall-eyed stereo, center and right images are cross-eyed stereo.
