Cathepsin L is another inhibitor of the papain enzyme. Cathepsin L interacts with the <scene name='Sandbox_31/Cathepl/1'>papain residues</scene> Gln19, Cys25, Gly66, Asp158, and Trp177 by hydrogen bonding them (Cathepsin L is lime green in the model, and the papain residues active in hydrogen bonding with Cathepsin L are highlighted with yellow halos). In addition to hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic interactions exist to exclude water, allowing the papain enzyme and Cathepsin L to associate even closer. Finally, <scene name='Sandbox_31/Stacking/1'>Ring Stacking</scene> between Trp177 and the Capthespin L molecule hold them tightly together.<ref> | Cathepsin L is another inhibitor of the papain enzyme.
