Function
[BACE1_HUMAN] Responsible for the proteolytic processing of the amyloid precursor protein (APP). Cleaves at the N-terminus of the A-beta peptide sequence, between residues 671 and 672 of APP, leads to the generation and extracellular release of beta-cleaved soluble APP, and a corresponding cell-associated C-terminal fragment which is later released by gamma-secretase.[1] [2]

Publication Abstract from PubMed
A novel series of 2-aminobenzimidazole inhibitors of BACE1 has been discovered using fragment-based drug discovery (FBDD) techniques. The rapid optimization of these inhibitors using structure-guided medicinal chemistry is discussed.
