The 3D-printed models are of the tetramer, with one beta subunit valine marked with a blue rod. One hydrophobic surface patch is marked with a hole. In the browser, the <scene name='61/611454/One_with_val/1'>tetramer</scene> is shown in red (alpha subunits) and orangered (beta subunits), with both valines shown in blue. In a second scene, <scene name='61/611454/Two_with_val/1'>two interacting tetramers</scene> are shown. You can see that one of the four valines is buried in the contact area between the two tetramers. The <scene name='61/611454/Val_and_patch/2'>hydrophobic patch</scene> (shown in gray) consists of Phe 85 and Leu 88 side chains in an indentation of the protein's surface.
