Abstract excerpt
The specific (i, i+5) hydrophobic staple interaction involving a helix residue and a second residue located in the turn preceding the helix is a recurrent motif at the N terminus of alpha-helices. This motif is strictly conserved in the core of all soluble glutathione transferases (GSTs) as well as in other protein structures. Human GSTP1-1 variants mutated in amino acid Ile(149) and Tyr(154) of the hydrophobic...
