The aromatic | == Other important features == | ||
The aromatic box consists of Trp160, Tyr163, Trp450, Phe456, and Tyr468. The amino acids provide a hydrophobic pocket for binding the octanal ligand. These residues provide pi stacking to stabilize the structure . Mutations to these residues affected the efficiency of the octanal but it wasn't too significant, meaning the protein was still able to function with the mutations, its binding ability was not effected. | |||
