International audience. Background: The interaction of the peptide VGVAPG with the elastin binding protein is critically involved in aneurysm progression.Results: A molecular model of this interaction is proposed and explored using a site-directed mutagenesis strategy.Conclusion: Three residues, Leu-103, Arg-107, and Glu-137, of elastin binding protein are critical players in this interaction. Significance: Our data now allow the design of antagonists of VGVAPG.
