Fig. 5. The carbohydrate-binding site. Stereoview of the binding site in CG-1B (orange) superimposed with the carbohydrate recognition domains of CG-1A (yellow) and hGal-1 (purple). The amino acid residues involved in ligand recognition, namely, His45, Asn47, Arg49, Val60, Asn62, Trp69, Glu72, and Arg74, are shown in ball-and-stick representation, and the position of bound water molecules is shown as spheres.
