Two K+-carboxylate ion-pairs on different protein chains are linked by fully tetrahedrally hydrogen-bonded network. Only the oxygen atoms of the network water molecules are shown and no account is made of the exclusion/hydrogen-bonding around the partial peptide chains.
These animations use Jmol: an open-source Java viewer for chemical structures in 3D. Use the mouse for control.
