Azurin
Active site coordination geometry
Taken from the original crystal structures from Pseudomonas aeruginosa,
PDB Codes 5AZU and 1E5Z
Note: Continuation of the protein is represented by a purple atom
When the Cu(II) is reduced to Cu(I), the Met 121 moves closer and the Gly 45 moves away
(Also Note; at any time you can use your mouse to move the molecule
