Three dimensional location of heparin binding motif in relation to known binding residues on the crystal structure of recombinant Pkα-DBL. The crystal structure of the recombinant Pkα-DBL that binds to human DARC is shown with previously described binding residues Tyr 94, Asn 95, Lys 96, Arg 103, Leu 168 and Ile 175 [10, 12–14] highlighted in magenta in domain 2 of the molecule. The heparin binding motif on the V3-like peptide is highlighted in yellow cysteines C1-C4 and blue for the basic residues (lysine and arginine) in domain 1 of the molecule.
