APPLICATION OF CRYSTALLOGRAPHIC AND MODELING METHODS IN THE DESIGN OF PURINE NUCLEOSIDE PHOSPHORYLASE INHIBITORS
Contents |
Overview
Competitive inhibitors of the salvage pathway enzyme purine-nucleoside, phosphorylase (purine-nucleoside:orthophosphate ribosyltransferase, EC, 2.4.2.1) have been designed by using the three-dimensional structure of, the enzyme as determined by x-ray crystallography. The process was an, iterative one that utilized interactive computer graphics, Monte, Carlo-based conformational searching, energy minimization, and x-ray, crystallography. The proposed compounds were synthesized and tested by an, in vitro assay. Among the compounds designed and synthesized are the most, potent competitive inhibitors of purine nucleoside phosphorylase thus far, reported.
