FIG. 5. Superposition of unliganded A1, wild-type GpIb -A1 and GpIb -M239V-A1-R543Q. Rearrangement of the 1- 2 loop region of A1 is highlighted. The 1- 2 loop region of unliganded A1 (33)(shown in purple) adopts an intermediate conformation between the closed conformation of 1- 2 in the mutant complex (blue) and the open conformation of 1- 2 in the wild-type complex (gold).
