Representative clustered forms of GRY53/7HC–ligand complexes. Greater solvent exposure of the 7HC moiety is observed in the GRY53/7HC–croconate complexes than in the GRY53/7HC–glucuronate complexes. The magnitude of the change in solvent accessible surface area, ranging from 70 to 107 A2, represents ∼13% of the total potential solvent accessible surface of the 7HC ring system.
