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
1W51 is a Single protein structure of sequence from Homo sapiens with and as ligands. Active as Memapsin 2, with EC number 3.4.23.46 Known structural/functional Site: . Full crystallographic information is available from OCA.
