<font color='red'>maintain a Zn2+ atom coordinated with three water molecules. One of them is as well bound to the Glu residue thanks to a hydrogen bond. The second Zn2+ atom is not involved in the active site. At first, the Gly 206 residue of the substrate binds the active site thanks to the Zn2+ atom. When it binds it takes the place of unstable water molecules and establishes stabilizing interactions with the active site thanks to its C terminal part. Then, the Ala 182 residue of the enzyme makes a hydrogen bond with the NH group of the substrate: this allows the substrate to enter the cavity of the catalytic site. The rest of the protein is stabilized by 4 hydrogen bonds with the amino acid located in the cavity.</font>

The Zn ion which is involved in the catalytic activity is the Zn999. In a publication (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC394940/?page=2) which studies the catalytic domain of MMP8 thanks to the Pro-Leu-Gly-hydroxylamine inhibitor, this ion is penta-coordinated with: His197, His201 and His207 of MMP8 and with the carbonyl and the hydroxyl oxygen of the hydroxamic acid moiety of the inhibitor.
