Table 1. pKa values calculated for geometries of complexes of the bound inhibitor 18 [2-(1-naphtyl)ethyl derivative] in dGMII and JBMan enzymes (four different ionized combinations of the inhibitor and the amino acid Asp341-dGMII or Asp268-JBMan were included) optimized at the QM/MM level.

The preferred pyrrolidine ring conformation of the bound inhibitor and selected geometry parameters (interatomic distances between selected atoms (N1 and C5) of the inhibitor and (Zn2+ ion and Asp204) of the enzymes are also compiled.
