The residues involved in the Zn998 interactions are <scene name='71/719866/Zn998/2'>an Asp residue (149) next to three His residues (147, 162 and 175)</scene>. The glutamic acid adjacent to the first histidine is essential for catalysis. It should be noted that scientists were unable to exchange or remove this Zinc in their crystals, which is suggesting that there is a tight interaction with MMP-8.<ref name="X-ray"/> | The residues involved in the Zn998 interactions are <scene name='71/719866/Zn998/2'>an Asp residue (149) next to three His residues (147, 162 and 175)</scene>.
