Fig. 4. The crystal structures of the V32D/F57H mutant near the portal region. The stereodiagram contains a ball and stick representation of the crystal structures of the V32D/F57H mutant near the expected portal region of ALBP. Notice His57 is hydrogen bonded to Ser55 in the pH 4.5 form, but makes a bond with Asp32 in the pH 6.4 form. The methyl end of HDS is shown as well, illustrating the residues close proximity to the ligand. HDS binding was modeled^ after the V32D/F57H mutant coordinates were aligned with the crystal structure of ALBP containing bound HDS.
