Figure S31: Panel A. re-docking of 72B in S6K1 (PDB code: 4rlp.pdb). In cyan is
depicted the co-crystallized ligand and in orange the re-docked molecule. In green are
highlighted the hydrophobic interactions and in yellow the hydrogen bonds. The
docking score of this binding mode is -97.17. 72B in this binding pose establishes the
same 3 H-bonds (with LEU75, GLU73 and LYS15) and hydrophobic interactions (with
THR135, LEU13 and VAL21) as the reference in the crystal structure. Panel B. redocking of 5BS in MST2 (PDB code: 5dh3.pdb). In blue is depicted the co-crystallized
ligand and in magenta the re-docked molecule. In green are highlighted the
hydrophobic interactions and in yellow the hydrogen bonds. The docking score of this
binding mode is -76.72. In this binding pose 5BS establishes both the same H-bonds
(with CYS102, LYS298 and ASP109) and hydrophobic interactions (with LEU33 and
TYR101) as the reference in the crystal structure.
