Figure 1.
Fig. 1. Chemical formulae of the FX-2212a inhibitor (2S)-(3'-amidino-3-biphenylyl)-5-(4-pyridylamino)pentanoic acid and the DX9065a (2S)-{4-[1-acetimidoyl-(3S)-pyrrolidinyl]oxyphenyl}-3-(7-amidino-2-naphthyl)propionic acid. Schematic drawing of the interactions between two inhibitors, DX9065a and FX-2212a, and factor Xa. Hydrogen bonds are shown as thin dashed lines, and hydrophobic interactions are shown as thick dashed lines. In the case of Q192, the aliphatic chain portion of Q192 makes the hydrophobic interaction. The symbol " " indicates that the two interacting aromatic groups are not stacked but are perpendicular to each other.
