has a break in the hydrogen-bonding pattern of its structure, forming tight substitute hydrogen bonds with water molecules. Thus, it results in a (at residue Ala 14) induced by a disruption in the helical conformation, due to hydrogen bonds with water molecules.

The C terminal(scene) domain of this molecule presents a characteristic PBP-GOP domain. While this protein is composed of 144 residues the domain PBP begin at the 25th residue. AmelASP1 binds its ligand at low pH and releases it at neutral pH.

Components implicated in the structure rigidity:

AmelASP1 presents which are greatly enhancing its structure’s rigidity by linking four of the helices together.The six cysteines and their interval spacing are the most striking features shared by proteins belonging to the PBP family.

The is established between and through Cysteins 20 and 51. links and through Cys 47 and 98, and the connects and thanks to Cys 89 and Cys 107.

Furthermore, non covalent bonds also play an important role.

Indeed, at pH 5.5, Asp 66 and Leu 58 establish an hydrogene bond which is able to fix a key component structure such as H4. (scene) With their hydrogene bond Val 118 and Ile 119 stabilize alpha helix 2 and C terminal’s position. (scene)

Cavity

The dynamic structure of the protein is responsible of the ligand’s binding by adjustment of position. The structure looses its flexibility when 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 ligand such as 9-ODA because of its specific composition. Indeed, cavity's components are mainly .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 AmelASP1.
