Fig. 3: The orthosteric LPA-binding pocket of the active LPA1.

a, b Cartoon representation of LPA1 with the bound LPA in spheres, and rotated 90° to show the two binding modules of transmembrane (TM) helices indicated by dashed lines. c Slice through view of the LPA-binding pocket. d–f Residues involved in interacting with the hydrocarbon chain (d, e) or the polar head group (f) of LPA are shown in sticks.
