:Glu162, a <scene name='10/1075254/Q162/5'>glutamine</scene>, resides near the top of the binding site, and is about than 3Å from the ligand in most models on the enzyme. It can act as a hydrogen bond donor to the terminal phosphate on the ligand when in proximity. To increase this interaction, Glu162 was mutated to an <scene name='10/1075254/Q_to_r/2'>arginine</scene>, which decreased the length of the potential hydrogen bond to within 2.5Å in most models, increasing the strength of the interaction.<ref name="Siegel"/> | :Glu162, a <scene name='10/1075254/Q162/5'>glutamine</scene>, resides near the top of the binding site, and is about than 3Å from the ligand in most models on the enzyme.
