Are they tetrahedral or octahedral? From the list of neighbours they do not 
look like tetrahedral. Some of them do look like octahedral.

So,are they  involved in reaction?

For tetrahedral Zn we do have “bonds” and “angles” between Zn and coordinating 
residues. For general solution we need a bit different approach (e.g. 
coordination analysis).
