Binding site of thermolysin (viewed in QUANTA)



Close-up of the thermolysin binding site.

The example above shows the binding site of thermolysin viewed in QUANTA.

The orange contours represent the protein's surface near the binding site while the site itself is delineated by the grey contours. The three inhibitors are taken from PDB codes 1tmn (red), 1tlp (yellow) and 4tmn (blue).
