The importance of bothmotifs and in particular their basic residues was fur-ther emphasized by the complete ... at the tip of a loop protruding away from the core of the protein. This amino-acid motif mimics RGD in terms of charge and is positioned at the tip of a loop and istherefore reminiscent of RGD ...
