FIG. 2. X-ray crystallographic results. A, a view of the x-ray structure of 1 (yellow, with standard coloring for oxygen and nitrogen atoms) in the active site of Cat G, represented as a Connolly surface (green), at 1.85 Å resolution. B, a view of the x-ray structure of 1 (yellow, with standard coloring for oxygen and nitrogen atoms) in the active site of chymase, represented as a Connolly surface (green), at 1.9 Å resolution. C, a schematic representation of the interactions surrounding the S[1] and S[2] subsites for 1·Cat G. D, a schematic representation of the interactions surrounding the S[1] and S[2] subsites for 1·chymase. For A and B, certain amino acid residues and enzyme subsites are labeled. For C and D, ligand 1 is shown in its approximate orientation in each complex, with the amide bond that rotates 180° highlighted in red. The hydrogen bonds are depicted by dashed lines accompanied by the distances between the heavy atoms.
