BACE (BETA SECRETASE) IN COMPLEX WITH A NANOMOLAR NON-PEPTIDIC INHIBITOR

Overview

Human BACE, also known as beta-secretase, shows promise as a potential, therapeutic target for Alzheimer's disease. We determined the apo, structure of BACE to 1.75 A, and a structure of a hydroxyethylamine, inhibitor complex derived by soaking. These show significant active-site, movements compared to previously described BACE structures. Additionally, the structures reveal two pockets that could be targeted by, structure-based drug design.

About this Structure
