The <scene name='10/1075246/4eb0_with_colored_ligand_stick/3'>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 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aromatic_compound aromatic] rings of the PET molecule. These interactions help align the substrate in the correct position for catalysis. | The <scene name='10/1075246/4eb0_with_colored_ligand_stick/3'>substrate-binding site</scene> of LCC is a long, mainly hydrophobic groove that accommodates PET chains.
