Overall Structure

Binding Interactions

WMDF - tetra peptide with bulky side chains

WMDF binds to P14-8 peptide-antithrombin binary complex

  -Tetra peptide occupies P7-P4 vacancy
  -Forms 8 hydrogen bonds with adjacent residues

Methionine is at the P6 location, while phenylalanine is at P4 location

  -P4 & P6 locations are very critical
  -Hydrophobicity of P4 & P6 are consistent feature of effective serpin-derived peptides
      -results in a shift of the connecting loop when compared to latent antithrombin
  -Successfully inhibits antithrombin polymerisation
