Figure 9.
Predicted binding mode of peptide agonists in PAR2. Peptide residues are depicted as orange spheres and numbered according to their position. Hydrophobic (side chains shown as green ellipses) and charge-charge (red spheres) interactions were mapped through mutagenesis and modeling. Interactions of the residue at position 6 were not probed by mutagenesis and the region occupied by the side chain is expected to be dynamic.
