doi: 10.1021/acs.jcim.4c01291
Figure Lengend Snippet: Water molecules predicted by WaterFLAP inside the binding site of CAII, labeled with their calculated Δ G values. Interactions are shown as orange dashed lines. (A) Empty binding site of CAII filled with water molecules. There are two “very unhappy” (red, Δ G ≥ 3 kcal/mol) and nine bulk-like (gray) waters inside the binding site. These water molecules are displaced upon ligand binding, with the circled water molecules only displaced by the four ligands containing fused heteroaromatic rings ( BTA-2-SA , BF-2-SA , BDA-2-SA , and THBT-2-SA ). The T199 and V121 residues are labeled. (B) Binding mode of TP-2-SA in CAII, with one “unhappy” and seven bulk-like water molecules in its proximity. (C) Binding mode of TA-2-SA in CAII, with one “unhappy” and eight bulk-like water molecules in its proximity and an H-bond with the T199 side chain. (D) Binding mode of BDA-2-SA in CAII, with one “unhappy” and eight bulk-like water molecules in its proximity and an H-bond with a bulk-like water molecule. (E) Binding mode of 2-F-SA in CAII, with two “unhappy” and six bulk-like water molecules in its proximity. (F) Binding mode of 4-NH2-SA in CAII, with one “unhappy” and nine bulk-like water molecules in its proximity and three H-bonds with two bulk-like waters and with the “unhappy” water molecule.
