Threonine 9 is an essential residue for the stabilization of amylin in the receptor. Threonine side chains are polar which allows them to hydrogen bond with other nearby polar groups, which can lead to extensive networks of interactions. This is seen in amylin at T9. T9 interacts with the <scene name='10/1038871/T9_main_chain/ | Threonine 9 is an essential residue for the stabilization of amylin in the receptor.

All of these interactions create a very strong interaction between amylin and the receptor. The water network also helps stabilize the active receptor conformation. <ref name="Cao">PMID:35324283</ref> | ||
