Table 1. Shortest spatial distances between disulphide (SS) bonds and aromatic residues (tryptophan and tyrosine) in EGF chain B (1JL9.pdb).
The shortest distances (< 12 Å) between atoms of each pair of elements (Trp, Tyr and disulphide bonds) were considered. For Trp and Tyr residues, only atoms belonging to the indole and benzene rings were considered, and for SS bonds one of the SG atoms. (W = Trp; Y = Tyr; PDB atomtype descriptor used is given in parentheses).
