Recall of crystallographic water sites defined by the distance to the closest heavy atoms. Crystal and solution MD simulations of R-galectin-3C are compared against the 100 K (Cryo) and 298 K (RT) crystal structures. The number of crystallographic water sites that have at least one MD neighbour within 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 or 3.0 Å is given and the percentage of the total number of crystallographic waters is given in parentheses.
