IGF-1 docks IGFBP with a series of polar and non-polar interactions all along its binding site. For instance, when IGF-1 binds IGFBP-4, <scene name='75/751772/Igf-1_docking_on_igfbp/1'>VAL48 matches PHE16</scene>. Both are hydrophobic residues. This mechanism can also be applied to all interactions between proteins of the insulin protein family such as the docking of IGF-2 in IGFBP-5. | IGF-1 docks IGFBP with a series of polar and non-polar interactions all along its binding site.
