Water shown as a grey sphere. Residues within the substrate hydrophobic cavity are labelled (semicircles) and include Phe 182. Hydrogen-bonding contacts (dotted lines) are shown with distances indicated in Å. For simplicity, the interaction of the Arg 97 guanidinium with the phosphonic acid moiety (approx3.4–3.6 Å) is not shown.
