The structure of this particular bovine trypsin was determined in complex with <scene name='Sandbox_45/Btligand/1'>UB-THR 10</scene>, formula '''C'''20'''H'''29'''N'''5'''O'''2, along with two <scene name='Sandbox_45/Btsulfates/1'>sulfate ions</scene> (highlighted) and a Calcium ion (green).  <scene name='10/100160/Cv/1'>Four key amino acids interact with Calcium at a subsite loop</scene>.  The binding of ligand UB-THR 10 involves <scene name='10/100160/Cv/3'>water bridges</scene>, direct <scene name='10/100160/Cv/4'>hydrogen bonding, and a host of hydrophobic interactions</scene>.  The figure below shows this binding in two dimensions.

The binding of trypsin to UB-THR 10 somewhat emulates the binding to its specific peptide substrates.  The preference for lysine or arginine in trypsin catalysis is due to the composition of the trypsin <scene name='10/100160/Cv/5'>specificity pocket</scene>.  Here (green), Asp 189 and one of two significant glycine backbones, Gly 216, interact with the ligand as they would with Arg or Lys.
