Figure 3. Selected conformational snapshots obtained from the MD simulation of the ALR2–zopolrestat complex are represented for the residues Cys298, Ala299, and Leu300. These snapshots suggest enhanced mobility in this region: while the conformations shown in green or magenta enable H-bond formation to the ligand's N3, this H-bond is ruptured in the conformations coloured in light blue or yellow. The inhibitor as observed in 10days_cocryst is represented as grey sticks after superimposing this crystal structure with the MD snapshots using a C^α-fit.
