Two views of the enzyme dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase (DDAH), adapted from the protein data bank coordinates 1H7O. This enzyme hydrolyzes methylated arginine residues involved in regulating nitric oxide production.

Two views of the enzyme N-acyl-L-homoserine lactone hydrolase (AHL lactonase), adapted from the protein data bank coordinates 2A7M. This metalloenzyme can degrade lactones used in bacterial signaling and thereby disrupt quorum-sensing.
