Figure 7 Stereo illustration of the adenine moiety in the hydrophobic purine binding pocket surrounded by the non-polar side chains contributing to the hydrophobic character. The net marks the hydrophobic surface of the protein matrix including water, with the intensity of the blue colour as an indicator of hydrophobicity. This surface was calculated with BRAGI (Schomburg and Reichelt, 1988). For comparison, the adenine moiety of cAPK-bound ATP is drawn (green) after global 3D-fit of the cAPK/ATP complex on rmCK2 .
