Monensin · coordination-cage host–guest structure

A conformationally flexible polyether natural product whose oxygen-rich chain is held in an ordered three-dimensional arrangement by the host.

The 62 hydrogen atoms shown use coordinates present in the selected crystal model. One primary cage was selected by guest–host contacts.
