Fig. 7: Inter-protein interactions between the HSV-1 gD and the α7/L-AChBP chimera (pose 4).
From: HSV1 glycoprotein D utilizes an LY6-like binding domain to inhibit alpha7 nicotinic receptors

Left Key interacting residues between HSV1 gD loop region (G83 - P92) (red) and α7/L-AChBP chimera chain A Loop C (blue). Right Interacting residues between HSV1 gD and chain A of α7/ L-AChBP chimera viewed from a 180° rotation around the vertical axis of the left figure. HSV1gD amino acid K90 is involved in a cation-Pi interaction with Y184 and C186 amino acids of nAChRs chain A Loop C region.
