This puzzle has the ResidueIE filter on (to try to ensure that PHE, TYR, and TRP residues are scoring properly) and we've increased the Ligand Score by a factor of 10 to promote interactions with the sugar.
Tip: To see the parts of the sugar that you can bond to, check Show bonds (non-protein) and Show bondable atoms in the View menu. Make sure Show bonds (loop) and Show bonds (sidechain) are also on. Blue can bond to red, and purple can bond to either blue or red.
