The structure 1W1H has in total 4 chains. These are represented by 1 sequence-unique entity.
The structure 1W1H has in total 4 chains. These are represented by 1 sequence-unique entity (for reasons of clarity all green links show therefore only one chain as a representation for all four chains).
The PH domain of PDK1 reveals a structural variation of a standard PH domain fold with an additional 'bud' at the N-terminus.

The standard PH domain fold consists of mainly three different sections:
The standard PH domain fold consists of mainly three different sections:
*One section is a <scene name='56/568020/Barrel-like/3'>barrel-like structure</scene> formed by residues 456-530 (only shown on chain D). This structure is formed by two, almost orthogonal, &beta; sheets, one consisting of four (&beta;1 - &beta;4) and one of three (&beta;5 - &beta;7) stand.

*One side of the barrel is blocked by a <scene name='56/568020/Alpha1/1'>C-terminal alpha helix</scene>.

*On the other side of the barrel three variable loops (VL 1-3) form a bowl-like structure which is lined by positively charged residues, consituting the phosphoinositide-binding site.
