Fig. 3. Stereo representation of the interactions made by the ~Lys18-Leu19-X-X-Asp22~ centerpiece residues of IA[3] in the vicinity of the active site of proteinase A. Proteinase A residues are in green with the catalytic water molecule depicted as a blue sphere. The side chains of Lys18, Leu19, and Asp22 plus the relevant segment of the IA[3] helix backbone are in brown. Hydrogen bonding distances are shown.
