Figure 5.
Fig. 5. Electrostatic potential surface showing the TRTK-12-binding site on Ca^2+-S100B. Negative potential is indicated in blue, and positive potential is shown in red for Ca^2+-S100B. A, location of the two TRTK-12 molecules ( green) on opposite sides of Ca^2+-S100B. The TRTK-12 peptide fits into the hydrophobic cleft generated by helices III and IV of each monomer. Note that on either side of the TRTK-12-binding site a significant uncharged region exists. B, environment of the anchoring Trp7 residue from TRTK-12 (green) showing interactions with S100B residues (blue) in helix III (Val56 and Thr59) and IV (Phe^76 and Val80).
