Phosphatase Inhibitor complexes: pdb 1nny
|
Introduction
→ Function: enzyme that decreases the amount of insulin receptor in the cell, which increases the effectiveness of the insulin produced in the body
→ Why important to diabetes: type 2 diabetes is caused by the inability to use insulin effectively. Since phosphatase inhibitors increase the effectiveness of insulin in the cell, it has proved effective in treating type 2 diabetes
→ Nonselective competitive inhibitor
→ Multiple ligand binding sites – inhibitor binds with catalytic site in “open” position. Proves competitive inhibition
→ Formed by being genetically manipulated
Overall Structure
The protein has 2 β strands and 10 β sheets
Binding Interactions
-This is a competitive inhibitor
-It has good selectivity over other phosphatases
-Ligand binds via 2 binding sites
-Binding is reversible
