Environment of trypotophan residues in rRBP
Residue van der Waals Interactions/ No. of contacts Accessible protein surface, (Å2) Temperature factor (Å2) Comments
van der Waals interactions were calculated using CCP4 (CCP4 1994). van der Waals distances are the maximum allowed values of C-C, 4.1 Å; C-N, 3.8 Å; C-O, 3.7 Å; O-O, 3.3 Å; O-N, 3.4 Å; and N-N, 3.4 Å. Accessible protein surface per atom for each tryptophan residue was calculated using DSSP (Kabsch and Sanders 1983).
