Figure 4. The F Pockets of B3501 and B53Both panels are viewed through the α2 helix and, as in Figure 3, the MHC main chain is represented in green, key side chains are shown in white, dashed lines indicate hydrogen bonds, and light blue spheres mark the positions of tightly bound water molecules.(A) The B3501 F pocket. The polymorphic residue (Gly) at position 83 is not visible from this angle but is solvent exposed and located on a turn of the α1 helix adjacent to residue 82.(B) The B53 F pocket.
