Molecular recognition of epibatidine. (a) Stereo view of the ligand-binding pocket from the side of the pentamer showing the position of epibatidine (Epi) in the aromatic cage. The protein is in ribbon style and the epibatidine molecule is shown with the Fo – Fc electron density contoured at the 3.0-σ level. (b) Stereo view of the ligand-binding pocket from above the pentamer. This view highlights hydrogen-bond interactions and interactions with the complementary face of the binding site between epibatidine and the receptor chimera.
