From: Discovery of novel inhibitors of Streptococcus pneumoniae based on the virtual screening with the homology-modeled structure of histidine kinase (VicK)

Figure 8

Three-dimensional structural binding modes of six potential inhibitors to VicK' protein derived from the docking simulations. The loop covered on the pocket was shown in tube. Six compounds were shown in stick with different colors. Their binding conformations showed similar interaction modes in the inner pocket. The binding diversity was restrained by small space and hydrophobic characteristic. By contrast, these structures bound in the outer pocket in various ways.
