Molecular Tour
Crystal structure of the ternary complex of dCMP hydroxylmethylase from bacteriophage T4 (T4dCH) bound with dCMP and tetrahydrofolate was determined at 1.9 Å resolution. The key residues within T4dCH for accommodating a cofactor without the C-terminal tail, an optimized network of ordered water molecules, and hydrophobic gating mechanism for cofactor regulation were clearly identified.
