Sodium in the structure of Contribution Of Hydrophobic Effect to the Conformational Stability of Human Lysozyme (pdb 2mee)

The binding sites of Sodium atom in the structure of Contribution Of Hydrophobic Effect to the Conformational Stability of Human Lysozyme (pdb code 2mee). This binding sites where shown with 5.0 Angstroms radius around Sodium atom. The 2mee structure was solved by K.TAKANO, Y.YAMAGATA, K.YUTANI, with X-Ray Crystallography technique, brief refinement statistics is given in the table below: Resolution (A) 8.0-1.8 Space group P212121 a (A) 57.200 b (A) 60.990 c (A) 33.670 alpha (°) 90.00 beta (°) 90.00 gamma (°) 90.00 Rfactor (%) 15.3 Rfree (%) n/a Sodium Binding Sites: Sodium binding site 1 out of 1 in 2mee Click to enlarge Click to enlarge Mono- and Stereo- picture of 5.0 Angstrom coordination sphere 1 of Sodium in the PDB 2mee.
