Crystal Structure of COMT in complex with N-[(E)-3-[(2R,3S,4R,5R)-5-[6-(ethylamino)purin-9-yl]-3,4-dihydroxyoxolan-2-yl]prop-2-enyl]-5-(4-fluorophenyl)-2,3-dihydroxybenzamide
[COMT_RAT] Catalyzes the O-methylation, and thereby the inactivation, of catecholamine neurotransmitters and catechol hormones. Also shortens the biological half-lives of certain neuroactive drugs, like L-DOPA, alpha-methyl DOPA and isoproterenol.
