Cadmium in the structure of Bactericidal Antibody Against Neisseria Meningitidis (pdb 2mpa)

The binding sites of Cadmium atom in the structure of Bactericidal Antibody Against Neisseria Meningitidis (pdb code 2mpa). This binding sites where shown with 5.0 Angstroms radius around Cadmium atom. The 2mpa structure was solved by J.M.H.VAN DEN ELSEN, J.N.HERRON, J.KROON, P.GROS, with X-Ray Crystallography technique, brief refinement statistics is given in the table below: Resolution (A) 20.0-2.6 Space group P1211 a (A) 55.680 b (A) 69.100 c (A) 72.950 alpha (°) 90.00 beta (°) 112.01 gamma (°) 90.00 Rfactor (%) 20.2 Rfree (%) 26.4 Cadmium Binding Sites: Cadmium binding site 1 out of 1 in 2mpa Click to enlarge Click to enlarge Mono- and Stereo- picture of 5.0 Angstrom coordination sphere 1 of Cadmium in the PDB 2mpa. Coordination sphere was calculated for all residues within 5.0 Angstroms distance from the central Cadmium atom, shown by VdW sphere Residues shown as a stick model or VDW spheres: L: Gln27, L: Thr97, L: His98, L: Val99, L: Hoh243, L: Hoh244, conact list: Atom Atom Distance (A) Cd NE2 L:Gln27 4.58 Cd O L:Thr97 4.86 Cd NE2 L:His98 4.55 Cd CB L:His98 3.88 Cd ND1 L:His98 2.74 Cd CD2 L:His98 4.61 Cd CE1 L:His98 3.52 Cd CG L:His98 3.60 Cd CA L:His98 4.26 Cd N L:Val99 4.93 Cd O L:Hoh243 2.23 Cd O L:Hoh244 3.29 interactive model:
