FIG. 6. The solvent-accessible surface model of iGDase and GAs around the substrate binding pocket. a, iGDase (PDB ID: 1ULV [PDB] ). Gln-380 does not directly interact with acarbose, and constriction of Trp-582 is observed. b, T. thermosaccharolyticum GA (1LF9 [PDB] ). Trp-390 is stacked with acarbose, and the constriction of Tyr-590 is not seen. c, A. awamori var. X-100 (1AGM [PDB] ). An extended loop consisting of five amino acid residues (TGSWG), which are not conserved in iGDase and T. thermosaccharolyticum GA, interacts with acarbose.
