Figure 3: The palmitate binding site of PatA.

(a–d) Four views of PatA–C16-1 crystal structure showing the palmitate chain deeply buried into the hydrophobic tunnel. (e,f) Two views of PatA showing the cap which closes the bottom of the hydrophobic tunnel. The 2mFo-DFc electron density map countered at 1 σ for the palmitate ligand is shown.
