Could well be a cation-pi interaction. Have been reading up on Arg/Trp
interactions and sitting above the ring is a classic place for a cation.
See
The Cation-π Interaction DENNIS A. DOUGHERTY ACCOUNTS OF CHEMICAL
RESEARCH ’ 885–893 ’ 2013 ’ Vol. 46, No. 4
for up to date or I found Ma, J. C., and Dougherty, D. A. (1997) The
cation-pi interaction. Chemical Reviews 97, 1303-132
better from a structural biology point of view.
I would go with a metal ion or ammonium but as to which one I have no idea.
Best wishes
Nick
