There are a small number of <scene name='Sandbox_36/Papain_inhibitor_direct_bond/2'>direct hydrogen bonds</scene> between stefin B and papain, however there are many more polar interactions mediated by <scene name='Sandbox_36/Papain_inhibitor_bridges_inter/1'>solvent bridges</scene>.  Thirteen solvent molecules bridge polar residues of the enzyme and inhibitor.  Seventeen hydrogen bonds are made with a solvent molecule and stefin.  Fourteen of these bridges form a papain contact.  The rest of the interactions are largely hydrophobic-- involving apolar <scene name='Sandbox_36/Papain_inhibitor_hydro_inter/2'>Van der Waals interactions</scene>. <ref> http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC551902/pdf/emboj00233-0254.pdf </ref>
