Schematic of two structural motifs of water cluster around polar and non-polar group of insulin molecule. Most of the insulin molecule is displayed in wire frame except for one carboxylate (above left) and one methyl (above right) shown in ball and stick mode. The magnified oxygen atom of carboxylate is surrounded by CS-like water cluster. The magnified methyl is surrounded by ES-like cluster of 60 water molecules.
