Digitonin · coordination-cage host–guest structure

A large steroidal glycoside with an extended sugar chain. Its crystal structure shows how a complex guest associates with the coordination cage.

The crystal model contains 91 guest hydrogen atoms; one hydrogen in the molecular formula is not modeled and has not been added for rendering.
