possesses anti-inflammatory activity. The binding of curcumin with PLA2 was studied using X-ray crystallography. Since the electron density found in the active site did not match with curcumin, (the photo-degraded product of curcumin) in the unexplained electron density. To understand the , molecular docking studies was carried out. with respect to the ligand position and identified that of PLA2 with a binding energy -16.81 Kcal/mol. The binding mode is in such a manner that it can prevent the entry of substrate to the hydrophobic active site. These studies indicate that curcumin can be act as an inhibitor to PLA2. The atomic coordinates have been deposited with Protein Data Bank (PDB ID: 3hsw).
