Figure 4. Surface electrostatic potential of part of the binding site of 2-Me-Tet-AMPA in complex with S1S2J. Positive potential is coloured in blue and negative potential in red, as indicated by the coloured bar to the left. The labelled residues form a well-defined partly hydrophobic and partly polar cavity within the binding site of S1S2J. These residues are within 3.9 Å from the 2-methyltetrazole ring, except from residues Thr686 and Leu704, which are at a distance of 4.2 Å and 4.7 Å, respectively. The ligand 2-Me-Tet-AMPA is shown in ball-and-stick representation, coloured as follows: carbon is white, oxygen is red, and nitrogen is blue. The Figure was prepared with the program Sybyl (Tripos Assoc. Inc.).
