First of them is the "catalytic anionic site" (CAS), which involves mentioned above [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalytic_triad catalytic triad] <scene name='1zgb/Act_site/8'>Ser200, His440, and Glu327</scene> <font color='orange'><b>(colored orange)</b></font> and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conserved_sequence#Conserved_protein_sequences_and_Structures conserved residues] <scene name='1zgb/Act_site/5'>Trp84</scene> and <scene name='1zgb/Act_site/10'>Phe330</scene> also participating in ligands recognition.

Therefore, the ligands that will be able to interact with both these subsites, will be more potent [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetylcholinesterase_inhibitor AChE inhibitors] in comparison to compounds interacting only with CAS. One of the ways to produce such ligands is to introduce two active substances into one compound. If it is spatially necessary these subunits could be divided by alkyl linker with suitable length.	+

-	<font color='magenta'><b>2d</b></font> and <font color='orange'><b>2f</b></font> are bis(''n'')-tacrine derivatives with n=5 and 7 (number of carbons in the linkers), respectively. These compounds are more potent and selective AChE inhibitors than tacrine alone. The binding of the tacrine moiety of <scene name='2cmf/Comparison/2'>2d</scene> at the ''Tc''AChE catalytic anionic site (CAS) is similar to that of <font color='red'><b>tacrine </b></font> in the tacrine/''Tc''AChE complex ([[1acj]]). The second tacrine moiety of the <font color='magenta'><b>2d</b></font> interacts with the peripheral anionic site (PAS) near Trp279. The interaction of <font color='magenta'><b>2d</b></font> at the CAS causes an increase of the <scene name='2cmf/Comparison/3'>distance</scene> between Ser200 Oγ and H440 Nε2 atoms, and, therefore, disruption of the catalytic triad (Ser200, H220, E327) as seen in the <font color='cyan'><b>native structure</b></font> ([[2ace]]). The binding of 2d results in <scene name='2cmf/Comparison/4'>major structural changes</scene> in the Val281-Ser291 loop changing the surface of the active-site gorge from its <font color='cyan'><b>native conformation</b></font> ([[2ace]]). The tacrine moiety of the compound <font color='orange'><b>'''2f''' (heptylene-linked bis-tacrine</b></font> at the CAS, [[2ckm]]) adopts similar <scene name='2cmf/Comparison/5'>conformation</scene> as tacrine in the tacrine/''Tc''AChE complex and the tacrine moiety of the <font color='magenta'><b>2d</b></font> at the CAS. The second tacrine moiety of the <font color='orange'><b>2f</b></font> interacts with PAS near the Trp279, like <font color='magenta'><b>2d</b></font>. The <scene name='2cmf/Comparison/6'>binding</scene> of <font color='orange'><b>2f</b></font> does not cause significant structural changes in <font color='plum'><b>''Tc''AChE</b></font> from its <font color='cyan'><b>native structure</b></font>. <scene name='2cmf/Overlap/7'>Comparison</scene> of the structures of <font color='magenta'><b>2d</b></font>/''Tc''AChE and <font color='orange'><b>2f</b></font>/''Tc''AChE reveals different contacts between the tacrine moieties of these compounds at the PAS and ''Tc''AChE. There are two additional structures of tacrine-containing ''Tc''AChE complexes: compounds <scene name='2cmf/Comparison/8'>6</scene> ([[1ut6]]) and <scene name='2cmf/Comparison/9'>7</scene> ([[1odc]]). The tacrine moieties of these compounds adopt similar conformations and interactions with CAS as the tacrine in the tacrine/''Tc''AChE, <font color='orange'><b>2f</b></font>/''Tc''AChE and <font color='magenta'><b>2d</b></font>/''Tc''AChE. Inhibitors '''6''' and '''7''' are spanning the <scene name='2cmf/Comparison/10'>active-site gorge</scene> between the CAS and the PAS, but since compound '''7''' lacks the second tacrine moiety, Trp279 adopts a different conformation in this complex structure. In the three structures: native ''Tc''AChE (cyan), '''cmp 6'''/''Tc''AChE complex (white), and '''cmp 7'''/''Tc''AChE complex (crimson) , all the ''Tc''AChE active-site gorge residues have identical conformation except Trp279 <ref name="Harel">PMID:8415649</ref> <ref name="Raves">PMID:8989325</ref> <ref name="Rydberg">PMID:16942022</ref>.	+
