The structure of the galactose and phosphate binding sites from L. lactis galactokinase [14]. The protein was crystallised in the presence of both galactose and inorganic phosphate (both shown with yellow bonds). The following colour scheme has been used for the atoms: Carbon = black, Oxygen = red, Nitrogen = blue, Phosphate = pink. Distances of less than 0.32 nm are shown as dashed lines.
