The VA is completely enveloped within the protein. healthcare-professional/cancer- center/cores/structural- biology/structural-biology.aspx The Lush protein is needed in the detection, discrimination, and perception of volatile odors

Knowledge Base wsroom/science/2004/imag es/01-Jones-figure1.jpg Fig. 1. a Surface representation of key residues in the LUSH alcohol-binding pocket. The pocket is lined with hydrophobic residues with the exception of Thr57 and Ser52, which form concerted hydrogen bonds with the alcohol. Ethanol is shown in a stick representation. The hydrogen bonds between the alcohol and the hydroxyl groups of Thr57 and Ser52 are shown as yellow dotted lines.
