CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF HUMAN CYCLOPHILIN D AT 1.7 A RESOLUTION, DMSO COMPLEX
Overview
In the pharmaceutical industry, knowledge of the three-dimensional, structure of a specific target facilitates the drug-discovery process., Despite possessing favoured analytical properties such as high purity and, monodispersion in light scattering, some proteins are not capable of, forming crystals suitable for X-ray analysis. Cyclophilin D, an isoform of, cyclophilin that is expressed in the mitochondria, was selected as a drug, target for the treatment of cardiac disorders. As the wild-type enzyme, defied all attempts at crystallization, protein engineering on the enzyme, surface was performed. The K133I mutant gave crystals that diffracted to, 1.7 A resolution using in-house X-ray facilities and were suitable for, soaking experiments. The crystals were very robust and diffraction ...
