The inhibitor has no action on plant and microbial alpha amylases. |
A crystal structure has been determined for tendamistat the 74-amino acid inhibitor produced by ''Streptomyces tendae'' that targets a wide range of mammalian alpha-amylases <ref> pmid 14501112</ref> <scene name='Sandbox_Ruth01/Tandemistat_no_changes/1'>Tendamistat</scene>. The binding of tendamistat to alpha-amylase leads to the steric blockage of the active site of the enzyme. The crystal structure of tendamistat revealed an immunoglobulin-like fold that could potentially adopt multiple conformations. Such molecular flexibility could enable an induced-fit type of binding that would both optimise binding and allow broad target specificity." | A crystal structure has been determined for tendamistat the 74-amino acid inhibitor produced by ''Streptomyces tendae'' that targets a wide range of mammalian alpha-amylases <ref> pmid 14501112</ref> <scene name='Sandbox_Ruth01/Tandemistat_no_changes/1'>Tendamistat</scene>.
