Fig. 3. Electrostatic surface potentials of the A1 domain of
VWF and GpIb .
Potentials were calculated for the individual molecules. The
surface is colored blue for potentials > 6 kT/e and red for
potentials <-6 kT/e. The C -traces of
the partner molecules in the complex are shown in white for
clarity. The areas of large electrostatic potentials at the
interface of A1 and GpIb coincide
with the region of loose, solvent-mediated contacts between the
two molecules. Calculations were performed with GRASP (30).
