Close-up views of the 3D structure of human SLC40A1 (pdb 6WBV). (a) Ribbon representation of the inner gate in which amino acids discussed in Section 2.3 are highlighted in atomic details. (b) Top: solvent accessible surface of SLC40A1, with the bound hepcidin displayed in a ribbon representation. Tyr64, Asn144, and Cys326 are colored red (oxygen atom), blue (nitrogen atom), and yellow (sulfur atom), respectively. Bottom: focus on Tyr64, Asn144, and Cys326. Hepcidin is shown in blue.
