Figure 3.
Polymorphic sites of PAF-AH shown in gray ball and stick relative to the active site Ser^273 and in a view looking directly at the interfacial binding surface of the enzyme. Three of the polymorphic sites (I198T, A379V, and R92H) are solvent-accessible. Two loss of function polymorphisms (V279F and Q281R) that lead to a loss of function in 4% of Japanese individuals are core residues. This figure was rendered using the program PyMOL (51).
