Figure 5.
FIG. 5. Model of factor IXa. The epidermal growth factor (green) and serine protease (yellow) domains of factor IXa (42) are shown connected to the IXGD1-46 structure (white), using factor VIIa structure (17) as a reference model. The bound Mg2^+ and Ca^2^+ ions are drawn as orange and blue spheres, respectively. D-Phe-Pro-Arg-chloromethylketone, which is bound to the active site, is shown as a red stick model. The phospholipid membrane surface is shown by a yellow line. Hydrophobic residues (yellow), basic residues (purple) and Mg2^+ ion (Mg-1) of GD1-46 are possible candidates for membrane binding.
