Figure 5. Inhibitor binding to the active site of human sNEP. (a) Stereo view of the active site inhibited by phosphoramidon, green. Hydrogen bonds and ionic interactions are indicated by broken lines, a-helices are shown as cylinders, b-strands are represented by arrows: catalytic domain, violet; the smaller domain 2, blue; the three interdomain linker fragments, cyan. The zinc ion is shown in yellow. (b) Molecular surface of the phosphoramidon recognition site colored by electrostatic potential: positive, blue; negative, red.
