Figure 4. Models of 12 (R) HETE docked with phosphatidylcholine

Model of two possible configurations for docking 12 (R) HETE with phosphatidylcholine. In Figure 4a, the 12 (R) HETE is docked at the fatty acid ester region of phosphatidylcholine (arrows). A color legend is shown below.

In Figure 4b, the 12 (R) HETE is docked at the polar head group region of phosphatidylcholine (arrows). The right hand arrow indicates the non-polar portion of the 12 (R) HETE molecule that extends into the aqueous environment. An isolated phosphatidylcholine molecule is shown in Figure 2 for comparison.
