Structure and Activity of KF

amino acids SAR domain SAR
1 l-Val l configuration is important A ring is essential
2 (Z)-Dhb double bond is crucial l/d configuration of the α-carbon of the backbone
 that maintains the conformation
 of the ring is crucial
3 l-Phe A hydrophobic residue can increase the activity
4 d-Val d configuration is important
5 d-allo-Ile d configuration is important
6 d-allo-Thr configurations of two chiral centers are
 very important
7 d-allo-Ile d configuration is important B configuration of the α-carbons of the amino acids
 is crucial; domain adopts or induces some
 sort of folding and/or interactions
 with other molecules
8 l-Orn aliphatic groups coupled to the amino
 group of Orn can increase the activity
9 d-Pro d configuration and the ring are important
10 d-Val d configuration is important
11 l-Val l configuration is important
12 l-Thr l configuration is important, and aliphatic
 substitutions can increase the activity
13 d-Val d configuration is important
14 5-MeHex long aliphatic group is essential C domain does not interact selectively with any other
 molecule, and its
 main function is as an aliphatic buoy
