Fig. 7 in L-DOPA synthesis in Mucuna pruriens (L.) DC. is regulated by polyphenol oxidase and not CYP 450/tyrosine hydroxylase: An analysis of metabolic pathway using biochemical and molecular markers

Fig. 7. Homology modelling and secondary structure prediction of PPO enzyme from Mucuna pruriens (a) Predicted secondary structure of PPO (b) Phyre2 protein model for PPO with 3D model dimensions (in Å) (X:49.941 Y:64.463 Z:57.979). Image colored by rainbow N → C terminus (c) Three dimensional SWISS protein model for PPO enzyme with two active copper binding ligands (copper ions bridging oxygen moiety is illustrated as small yellow spheres highlighted in the box), conserved histidine residues and metal complex interactions (in dotted lines). Chain A for Ligand 1: H.183, H.204, H.213, F.367, H.371; metal interactions: A:H.183, A:H.204, A:H.213. Chain A for Ligand 2: H.337, H.341, F.367, H.370, H.371; metal interactions: A:H.337, A:H.341, A:H.371).
