Electrostatic field lines generated by the atomic charges of human spermine synthase dimer.
The electrostatic field forms three distinctive funnels leading to the vicinity of the active sites. These funnels serve as electrostatic guide for the positively charged spermidine substrate. Coloring scale data range: -1; 1 (blue, positive; red, negative). Calculated with DelPhi and visualized with VMD. See Zhang, et al.
