The results of this showed that ALL the iron centred enzymes have RMS of <0.5 with each other which is not entirely surprising since they are all from Rhodococcus species. They all have RMS of greater than 1 for all the cobalt centred enzymes. There are two distinctly different cobalt centred arrangements: the Pseudonocardia thermophila pair of 1IRE and IUGP, and the trio of Bacillus structures of 1V29, 2DPP and 3HHT. Within these groupings they have RMS of less than 0.5, and between the groupings RMS of greater than 1.
Effectively this says to me that there are three basic structures for NHase known currently- one iron based and two cobalt based. Below is an excerpt from a table holding all the results from these calculations which shows this clustering.
