Figure 7.
Figure 7. A stereo view of the 170 loop and the intermediate helix. Orange, arrow pointing to the intermediate helix (Met164-Ser170B) and Ser170H-Cys182; pink, insertion loop (Arg170C-Asp170G); green, Trp215-Arg230; purple, sulphate; light blue, disulfide bond Cys168-Cys182; white ball, water. Residues Met164, Cys168, Gln170A-Asn175, Cys182, Trp215 and Arg230 are shown including their side-chains, for the other residues, only the backbone atoms are shown. The factor VIIa specific insertion loop Arg170C-Asp170G and the sulphate groups are shown with their 2F[o] -F[c] electron density maps. The hydrogen bonds stabilising the sulphate groups are indicated by white dotted lines.
