Polarized Transition State


a, Structures of the src SH3 domain, b, the wt a-spectrin SH3 domain and c, the distal loop permutant, d, CI2 and e, the Arc repressor dimer colored by FF value on a continuous scale from red (1) to blue (0). The transition state stability has a polarized patteern in the distal loop region, which is out side of the hydrophobic core. While the transition state stability is uniformly distributed around the hydrophobic core of CI-2 and Arc repressor. (Figure adopted from Grantcharova et al., Natu. Struct. Biol., 1998, 5(8):714)
