Figure 3.
Fig. 3. Agonist recognition by mGluR-II[3]. Schematic drawings for the binding of Glu (A), DCG-IV (B), 1S,3S-ACPD (C), 1S,3R-ACPD (D), and 2R,4R-APDC (E). Hydrogen atoms attached at the C[ ]atom of the ligands are modeled with the corresponding ideal geometries. Only the residues/water molecules that directly interact with one of the agonists are drawn. Red and blue lines indicate hydrogen-bonding and VDW contact, respectively. Either of the two carboxyl oxygen atoms connected by the green line in B is likely to be protonated, as suggested from the short distance between them (2.4 Å).
