APO STRUCTURE OF BACE (BETA SECRETASE)
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
1W50 is a Single protein structure of sequence from Homo sapiens with IOD as ligand. Active as Memapsin 2, with EC number 3.4.23.46 Structure known Active Site: AC2. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA.
