To the left is the hydrophobic binding pocket of Carboxypeptidase A in ''B. taurus,'' one of the molecules most important structural features. This binding pocket is the site at which C-terminal side chain of the substrate binds. It is formed by amino acid residues I243, I247, A250, G252, G253, S254 and I255.

Nearby, there is also Y198 which serves as the recognition site for the sidechain next to the C-terminal residue.
