The <scene name='10/1075246/4eb0_with_colored_ligand_stick/ | The <scene name='10/1075246/4eb0_with_colored_ligand_stick/2'>substrate-binding site</scene> of LCC is a long, mainly hydrophobic groove that accommodates PET chains. This groove includes three subsites—designated −2, −1, and +1—that interact with specific PET units near the scissile ester bond. Hydrophobic residues such as F125, V212, M166, and F243 line the groove and facilitate binding by interacting with the aromatic rings of the PET molecule. These interactions help align the substrate in the correct position for catalysis. | ||
