^aAll bisphosphonates are bound with Mg²⁺ ions.
^bAllosteric inhibitors.
Please note that in the PDB structures 1YV5, 1ZW5, and 4DEM, the amino acids are numbered with an offset of 14 compared to the rest of the structures. The C-terminal tail KRRK residues in these structures are thus numbered from 364 to 367.
