Structural and dynamic properties of water around acetylcholinesterase
This figure shows the distribution of water sites around acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and the paths that waters take between these sites (a). A zoomed-in view (b) illustrates the water sites within the gorge that leads to the active site. Coloring of the waters at a particular site corresponds to the relative residence times at that site (red = shortest, blue = longest).
