that is solvating the enzyme. Water surrounds the outer surface of the protein, which is to be expected, but it is also possible to see that water molecules have interactions in some of the deeper parts of the protein as well, especially near the active site. | (purple) that is solvating the enzyme.

Of course, the areas of the protein that interact with the substrates are the most interesting parts, so the <scene name='Sandbox_47/Ad_k_ligand_interaction/1'>ligand stabilizing residues</scene> are important to note. The residues of the active site are the most critical parts of the protein, because they actually do the chemical reactions of the enzyme. The <scene name='Sandbox_47/Ad_k_active_site/1'>active site</scene> residues are shown here. | Of course, the areas of the protein that interact with the substrates are the most interesting parts, so the <scene name='Sandbox_47/Ad_k_ligand_interaction/1'>ligand stabilizing residues</scene> are important to note.
