The negative surface | The negative surface of the binding pocket and the D61 of the HPBP are involved in the specificity towards the phosphate. Due to the negative environment only anions perfectly matching the hydrogen bonds are able of binding. The D61 residue is responsible for the discrimination between phosphate and the very similar sulfate, which is missing the hydrogen needed for the bond with D61. <ref>PMID:16531243</ref> | ||
