Figure 4 (a) Interactions between DPLA[2] and the designed peptide LAIYS. The peptide residues are indicated with a `P' in parentheses. The critical interactions between Tyr(P) OH and His N 1 and Asp O 1, including other hydrogen bonds between peptide and protein, are indicated by dotted lines. The figure was drawn with MOLSCRIPT (Kraulis, 1991[Kraulis, P. J. (1991). J. Appl. Cryst. 24, 946-950.]) and Raster3D (Merritt & Murphy, 1994[Merritt, E. A. & Murphy, M. E. P. (1994). Acta Cryst. D50, 869-873.]). (b) LIGPLOT (Wallace et al., 1995[Wallace, A. C., Laskowski, R. A. & Thornton, J. M. (1995). Protein Eng. 8, 127-134.]) showing the schematic representation of the interactions between the peptide LAIYS and protein molecule. (c) GRASP (Nicholls et al., 1991[Nicholls, A., Sharp, K. & Honig, B. (1991). Proteins, 11, 281-296.]) representation of the binding cavity and the hydrophobic channel. The peptide LAIYS is almost completely buried in the pocket. Two key hydrogen bonds involving His48 and Asp49 of the protein with peptide Tyr OH are also indicated by dotted lines.
