Figure 4

Superimposed structures of etomidate and carboetomidate docked in the substrate-binding pocket of 11β-hydroxylase. Carboetomidate is shown with gold carbons. Both agents adopt very similar poses with the heme iron coordinated to the ester carbonyl oxygen and the phenyl ring proximal to Phe-80.
