Iodide Binding Sites (IMAGE)
Caption
Iodide binding sites in various protein structures. Panels A, B, C, and D show different protein structures with traces of iodide ions depicted in purple (on the left). The same structures are shown embedded in the cell membrane (right). The image illustrates the tendency of iodide ions (orange spheres) to attach to proteins at the outer (blue) or inner (red) surface of the membrane, where positive charge is concentrated.
