X ray structure of the complex between Carbonic Anhydrase I and the phosphonate antiviral drug foscarnet
Overview
Foscarnet (phosphonoformate trisodium salt), an antiviral used for the, treatment of HIV and herpes virus infections, also acts as an activator or, inhibitor of the metalloenzyme carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1)., Interaction of the drug with 11 CA isozymes has been investigated, kinetically, and the X-ray structure of its adduct with isoform I (hCA, I-foscarnet complex) has been resolved. The first CA inhibitor possessing, a phosphonate zinc-binding group is thus evidenced, together with the, factors governing recognition of such small molecules by a metalloenzyme, active site. Foscarnet is also a clear-cut example of modulator of an, enzyme activity which can act either as an activator or inhibitor of a CA, isozyme.
