Glycocholic acid · coordination-cage host–guest structure

A flexible bile acid conjugate organized by the coordination cage, revealing both its steroidal core and extended glycine-bearing side chain.

The selected crystal model contains 42 explicit guest hydrogen atoms; one hydrogen in the molecular formula is not modeled and has not been added. One primary cage was selected by guest–host contacts.
