Crystal structures exist for three neurokinin-1 (NK1) ligand complexes with the following pdb codes (6hll, 6hlo, 6hlp) For each of the three crystal structures identify four amino acids in the NK1 binding site that contact the ligand indicating both the residue type in three letter code and the residue number. One of the chose amino acids should form a hydrogen binding interaction to the ligand, state which functional group the amino acid utilises in each case
