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
