| The lowest energy-binding conformation of an inhibitor bound to the dimeric interface of HIV-1 integrase core domain. The yellow region represents a unique allosteric binding site identified by affinity labeling and mass spectrometry and validated through mutagenesis. This site can provide a potential platform for the rational design of inhibitors selective for disruption of integrase multimerization. See the article by Dr. Terry Burke et al. in this issue [PNAS 2006 103: 10080-10085]. |

| HHAI methyltransferase (blue ribbon) bound to oligonucleotide (strands with bonds colored yellow and green) containing a pseudorotationally constrained sugar analogue at the target position (orange bonds with cyan atoms). The south-constrained pseudosugar is rotated about its flanking phosphodiester bonds, 90 degrees from its initial position in B-form DNA, but short of a completely flipped position with 180 degrees in the middle of the flipping pathway via the major groove side. This structure provides clues to DNA-protein interactions in a potential transition state. For further details see the paper by Dr. Victor Marquez et al. in this issue [Nucleic Acids Res. (2004) 32, 3877-3886]. |
