... Cd1methyl of the Ile50 sidechain forms C-HÆÆÆO interactions with the hydroxyloxygen of Thr80¢ and carbonyl oxygen of Pro79¢, andthe Cd1 of Ile50¢ interacts with the hydroxyl of Thr80.Mutation ... These lines of evidence, taken together, strengthen the suggestion thatloss of the C-HÆÆÆO interaction of residue 50 with thehydroxyl of Thr80, as well as loss of hydrophobic con-tacts with inhibitor, ...
