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

The binding sites of Sodium atom in the structure of Contribution Of Hydrophobic Effect to the Conformational Stability of Human Lysozyme (pdb code 2mef). This binding sites where shown with 5.0 Angstroms radius around Sodium atom. The 2mef structure was solved by J.FUNAHASHI, 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) 57.070 b (A) 61.140 c (A) 33.620 alpha (°) 90.00 beta (°) 90.00 gamma (°) 90.00 Rfactor (%) 15.2 Rfree (%) n/a Sodium Binding Sites: Sodium binding site 1 out of 1 in 2mef Click to enlarge Click to enlarge Mono- and Stereo- picture of 5.0 Angstrom coordination sphere 1 of Sodium in the PDB 2mef. Coordination sphere was calculated for all residues within 5.0 Angstroms distance from the central Sodium atom, shown by VdW sphere Residues shown as a stick model or VDW spheres: A: Hoh138, A: Hoh141, A: Hoh162, conact list: Atom Atom Distance (A) Na O A:Hoh138 2.37 Na O A:Hoh141 2.29 Na O A:Hoh162 4.48 interactive model:
