NBDs of MalK dimer of MalEFGK2

This view shows five domains including MBP domain (in grey), two TMDs (in green and yellow) and two NBDs (in brown and red).
This view shows a detailed structure of the NBDs. View along an axis perpendicular to the membrane plane from the trans-side onto the NBDs. The TMDs and MBP were removed from better visualization. The A-loop (in red) contains tyrosine that helps to position the ANP (in blue);Walker A motif (a separate helix in yellow on the top right, which is RecA-like domain) directly interacts with the phosphates of ANP;The walker B motif (the second beta-stand in yellow on the left of RecA-like domain).It helps to coordinate the magnesium (second biggest spheres next to ATP) via the conserved aspartate residue. The top left and bottom right are alpha-helical domains (in yellow and grey).
This review shows a closer look of the NBD. ANP is shown in wireframe (in yellow) and sphere (in blue) at the same time.
