1eve The anti-Alzheimer's drug E2020 (marketed as Aricept®) is an inhibitor that binds acetylcholinesterase (AChE) with high affinity. The X-ray structure of the E2020-AChE (AChE from Torpedo california) complex shows that E2020 has a along the active-site gorge, extending from the anionic subsite () of the active site, at the bottom, to the peripheral anionic site (), at the top, via aromatic stacking interactions with conserved aromatic acid residues. E2020 does not, however, interact directly with either the catalytic triad or the 'oxyanion hole' but only . Read more at 1eve...

How can I find my protein/molecule?

Search Proteopedia using the search box in the toolbar to the left. See also Help:Searching. Proteopedia already contains >50,000 pages, including an automatically-generated page for every published macromolecular 3D structure (to see some of these, click Random Page in the navigation box at the upper left), plus Topic Pages providing an overview of a class of molecules or other structural topics.

These resources may help you familiarize yourself with the editing process. Trust us, the editing process is very simple: All text is edited the same way that Wikipedia is edited, so it must be easy! And all scenes (green links) are created using our user-friendly Scene authoring tools. Of course it helps to familiarize yourself with the site and how to go about editing, so check out these resources:

What Can Proteopedia Do For Me?

• Scientists and Students: a reference resource for understanding protein 3D structure-function relationships. Example: Acetylcholinesterase bound to Aricept, an anti-Alzheimer's drug.
• Educators: develop tutorials or molecular scenes to project during lectures, or for student use. Examples: Teaching Scenes, Tutorials, and Educators' Pages. Assign students to construct pages in Proteopedia for class projects or reports: see Student Projects. See also Teaching Strategies Using Proteopedia.

You may protect your teaching pages from unwanted editing by others -- see Help:Protected Pages.

• Structural Researchers: create supplementary materials for your journal publications, and pages about your research team or institute, highlighting structures you have researched. For examples, see Research Groups.

Proteopedia Mission Statement

To collect, organize and disseminate structural and functional knowledge about protein, RNA, DNA, and other macromolecules, and their assemblies and interactions with small molecules, in a manner that is relevant and broadly accessible to students and scientists.

Goals for Proteopedia

• To serve as a forum for the scientific community to share, retrieve and discuss information related to proteins, macromolecules, and small molecules and chemicals of interest.
• To continue to develop the concept of tying text to three-dimensional, interactive images.
• To maintain low barriers for contribution.
• To foster collaborations between students and experts, signed with their real names.
