To assess the solvent accessibility of adenylate kinase, <scene name='Sandbox_48/Chain_a__w__waterligand/1'>water molecules</scene> (purple) are shown on the molecule. These are the spaces in the protein that are capable of being accessed by solvent. Solvent accumulates near the center of the molecule, and is found on the outward chains like the alpha helices. The ligand (green) is highlighted to show that the water molecules surround the ligand in the middle of the ligand, but not by the ends. | To assess the solvent accessibility of adenylate kinase, <scene name='Sandbox_48/Chain_a__w__waterligand/1'>water molecules</scene> (purple) are shown on the molecule.

== Ligand Interaction == | |||
There are charged residues that <scene name='Sandbox_48/Ligand__interaction__charges/1'>interact with the ligand</scene>, or make up the interaction site. The positively charged (blue) residues of the enzyme interact with the negatively charged (red) residues of the ligand. | |||
