Molecular models for covalent enzyme–inhibitor complexes
predicted in silico. Cathepsins B, S, and L in cartoon
and transparent surface representations are colored green, orange,
and cyan, respectively. Interacting protein residues are shown as
sticks, colored by atom type and labeled. Inhibitors (A–C) 1b, (D–F) 2b, and (G–I) 2k are shown as gray sticks and colored by atom type. Pocket binding
sites S1–S3 are indicated by red labels. Intermolecular hydrogen
bonds, salt bridges, π–π and halogen hydrogen bond
interactions are depicted as black, magenta, cyan, and purple dashed
lines, respectively. Figure generated in Maestro (Schrödinger).
