Figure 5. Binding modes of the three isomers transferred to the active site of factor Xa, together with solvent-accessible surfaces. (A) The cycloheptanone-ring system of the (E,Z)-isomer (light blue) clashes (yellow) with the side-chain of Tyr99 (red). (B) The (Z,Z)-configuration fits optimally to the binding site of factor Xa. (C) The (E,E) isomer makes no favourable interaction outside of the primary specificity pocket.
