Binding of a cocaine-HCl molecule to the binding site of: (a,b) Wild type (WT) mosquito- AgamOBP1, and (c,d) AgamOBP1_mutant S82P. In (a) cartoon representation of the X-Ray structure and (b) hydrophobicity surface representation, the cocaine-HCl molecule shows does not fit into the WT AgamOBP1 binding pocket, but in (c), cartoon representation, (d) hydrophobicity surface representation, after substitution of residue number 82 Serine (S) with Proline (P) to produce the mutant S82P, the cocaine-HCl molecule can now fit into the binding pocket. (e) Structural superposition of (b) and (d), where cocaine-HCl molecule in (b) is shown in light pink, while cocaine-HCl in (d) is shown in green. Residue S82 from (b) and residue P82 from (d) are labelled.
