The hydrophobic/hydrophilic view of the ligand in the protein shows that both hydrophilic and hydrophobic residues are important to the ligand in the binding site. The first photo below shows the spacefill look at the protein, and it can be seen that the binding pocket is almost invisible and hard to reach. The second photo shows the hydrophobic/hydrophilic binding pocket up close, showing that the hydrophobic portion of the protein is interacting with the hydrophobic portion of the ligand, and the hydrophilic portion is interacting with the hydrophilic areas of the ligand. The red shows hydrophobic properties, and the green shows hydrophilic properties. In the first photo you can see on chain B the active site is mostly hydrophilic with one red hydrophobic area at the entrance. The ligand is in the middle of the protein and is not very visible from the outside of the protein. | |||
