Close up view of the interfaces between the enantiomeric L-ShK (Green) and D-ShK (Cyan) molecules in the DL-protein racemate crystal. (a), Hydrogen bonding between (D)-Thr6 and (L)-Arg11, (L)-Thr6 and (D)-Arg11; (b), Hydrogen bonding between side chain of (D)-His19 and backbone of (L)-Cys32, also hydrogen bonding connected by water molecules at multiple sites, Water molecules are shown as small red spheres; (c), Hydrogen bonding between side chain of (L)-Ser2 and main chain of (D)-Lys9, side chain (D)-Ser2 and main chain of (L)-Lys9, also hydrogen bonding connected by water molecules at multiple sites; (d), Weak hydrophobic interaction between Leu25 and Met21.
