Figure 4.
Figure 4. Water molecules form an intricate network of hydrogen-bonded water molecules across the interface and water-mediated hydrogen bonds between the NA and Fab. (a) The water network encircles Glu199. Broken lines are water-water hydrogen bonds. (b) Schematic of the water interactions in the interface. The water molecules are identified in magenta, NA residues are green, antibody H chain residues are dark blue and L chain residues are light blue. H-bonds are black lines. Direct contacts between protein residues are shown by broken red lines to give a sense of the spatial relationships.
