a Solvent-bridged interaction between the ligand and the toxin (the H-bond distance between residue 1 and water, the H-bond distance between residue 2 and water).

b Distance in Å between the two atoms forming the hydrogen bond.

c VDW, number of van der Waals contacts between the ligand and the toxin.

d These solvent-bridged interactions were also observed in Stx1-starfish complex (PDB code 1QNU).
