===Mechanism of Action===
===Mechanism of Action===
-
Tacrine is an [[Acetylcholinesterase]] (AChE) inhibitor. It binds to the active site of <scene name='Tacrine/Ache/1'>AChE</scene>, utilizing many of the same residues which <scene name='Tacrine/Ac/1'>bind and break down acetylcholine</scene>. By inhibiting AChE, the important neurotransmitter, [[acetylcholine]], is degraded at a slower rate, helping reverse the marked decrease in neuronal function evident in [[Alzheimer's Disease]] patients. Tacrine <scene name='Tacrine/Bound/2'>primarily interacts with residues</scene> Phe 330, His 440, Trp 84, & Ser 200 in tightly binding to the AChE binding site via pi stacking interactions. It is clearly visible how <scene name='Tacrine/Inter/3'>Tacrine interferes</scene> with the binding of acetylcholine, outcompeting acetylcholine for nearly the same space in the active site. <ref>PMID:8415649</ref>

The [[Influenza]] A Virus viral envelope is dotted with various [[ion channels]] including [[M2 Proton Channel|M2 Proton Channels]]. The <scene name='Rimantadine/M2/1'>M2 protein</scene> plays a critical role in the life cycle of the Influenza virus. It enables hydrogen ions to enter the virion form the endosome. The result of this is a more acidic environment within the virus, causing dissociation of the viral matrix protein M1 from the ribonucleoprotein RNP. Dissociation of the viral matrix protein is a crucial step in uncoating of the virus and exposing its contents to the cytoplasm of the host cell, allowing the virus to hijack the cellular machinery to replicate. <scene name='Rimantadine/Four/1'>Rimantadine binds in multiple places</scene> outside the pore formed by the M2 protein, <scene name='Rimantadine/M2b/1'>utilizing residues</scene> Leu 43, Leu 40, Asp 44, Arg 45, Trp 41 from one chain and Ile 42 from the neighboring chain. This effectively disables the protein from transferring protons into the viral particle.<ref>PMID: 18235503</ref>
