Figure 6. The binding of a-tocopherol in molecule A. The OH
group of the aromatic moiety in a-tocopherol plays a key role by
interacting simultaneously with both Asp49 and His48. The
hydrocarbon chain of a-tocopherol fills the hydrophobic channel
in the protein. The Figure was drawn with MOLSCRIPT23 and
