Figure 2.
Figure 2. The GbO4 Binding Site(A) Stereo-diagram of binding site. The protein backbone is in ribbon representation as in Figure 1B and secondary structures are labeled according to Figure 1B. Residues in the protein interacting with the GbO4 receptor are in ball-and-stick representation with carbon atoms in gray, oxygen atoms in red, and nitrogen atoms in blue. Receptor residues are in ball-and-stick representation with carbon atoms in silver, and oxygen and nitrogen atoms as in the protein. Water molecules involved in interactions between the protein and receptor residues are in ball representation color-coded in magenta and labeled W1 to 7. Receptor residues are labeled A to D as in Figure 1B.(B) Schematic representation of interactions between protein and receptor. Direct polar interactions are indicated by red arrows. Water-mediated interactions are indicated by blue arrows. Brackets and arrows in green indicate contacts with aromatic/hydrophobic platforms
