The 3D structural model of four BanLec proteins, with a specific mutation site highlighted. The mutation involved replacing Histidine 84/115 (H84/115) with Threonine 84/115 (T84/115), resulting in the disruption of a crucial pi-pi stacking interaction between H84/115 and Y83/114. Both these amino acids have aromatic rings, and pi-pi stacking refers to the non-covalent interactions that occur between these aromatic rings
