Figure 3
The hydrophilic interaction between ZHD and ZGR. (a) Wall-eyed stereo presentation of the hydrophilic interaction in the ZGR (yellow) binding pocket. The red dotted lines indicate hydrogen bonds. The ZEN (white) and surrounding hydrophilic interacting amino acids are superimposed without the two water molecules. (b) A comparison of the hydrophilic interactions in ZHD–ZEN (left, plotted according to PDB entry 3wzm and with Ala102 superimposed with Ser) and ZHD–ZGR (right). Red dashed lines indicate hydrogen bonds. Numbers indicate distances in Å. The blue line shows the potential nucleophilic attack by Ser102. |
