The structure looses its flexibility when <scene name='60/604479/Cmj/3'>CMJ</scene> binds. The successful delivery of the effector to the receptor relies on this property. The ligand binding pocket consists in a cavity formed by the helices H2, H4 and H5(scene), arranged in a globular shape. | ||
The top of the cavity is not closed and can establish contacts with the solvent. The cavity is prone to accept such ligand because of its specific composition. Indeed, cavity components are mainly <scene name='60/604479/Hydrophobic_residues/2'>hydrophobic and aromatic</scene>.They consequently interact with the ligand's hydrophobic carbon chain and are localized on the internal face of the helix.Thus, it implies that these residues respect a regular distance pattern in the primary structure of the ASP1. | |||
