Another example of a papain inhibitor is <scene name='Sandbox_39/Inhibitor/1'>ZLFG-DAM</scene>, a diazomethylketone inhibitor. As shown in the Jmol to the right, the methylene carbon atom of the inhibitor (shown as a grey sphere), is covalently bound to the Cys-25 of papain. The hydrophobic S2 pocket is occupied by the inhibitor's P2 side chain, shown as a pink chain. Extensive hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions are responsible for the interaction of the inhibitor with the enzyme.
