Figure 4. Predicted binding mode of compounds 4 (A), 17 (B), 26 (C), 32 (D), 35 (E), and 41 (F) in the tyrosinase active site. Compounds are represented as colour stick balls, interacting tyrosinase residues as grey sticks, Cu2+ as orange spheres, their histidine ligands as wireframes, and binding interactions as colour dashed lines. The distances between Cu2+ and interacting atoms are shown in Å.
