Cartoon representation of HSA with the bound virstatin (red).

Abstract

<p>Trp214 is shown in golden sticks. In (a) the N- and the C-termini of the polypeptide chain are shown as red and blue balls, respectively. (b) Close-up view of virstatin (N is in blue, O in red, H is in grey and the rest are C atoms) with two short contacts with Trp214 shown. (c) The cavity corresponding to site I with bound virstatin. The details of the relative positions of the neighboring residues (<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0037468#pone-0037468-t004" target="_blank">Table 4</a>) are shown in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0037468#pone.0037468.s005" target="_blank">Figure S5</a>.
