At the entry of the binding site, the TTR has a hydrophilic tail, into which the four iodine atoms of the ligand are placed. The innermost binding pocket, HBP-3, is located between the side chains of Ser 117, Thr 119, Ala 108 and Leu 110. Its surface is composed of aliphatic methyl and methylene groups, as well as the Ser 117 hydroxyl group, the carbonyl groups of Ser 117, Thr 118 and Ala 108, and the main chain NH groups of Thr 119, Ala 109 and Leu 110. The central HBP-2 is formed by the side chains of Leu 110, Ala 109, Lys 15, and Leu 17, it is primarily hydrophobic with polar or electrostatic contributions from the carbonyl groups of Lys 15, Ala 108 and Ala 109. The outermost pocket HBP-1 is located between the side chains of Ala 108, Thr 106, Met 13 and Lys 15. This pocket is lined with the methyl and methylene groups of Lys 15, Ala 108 and Thr 106 | At the entry of the binding site, the TTR has a hydrophilic tail, into which the four iodine atoms of the ligand are placed.
