Publication Abstract from PubMed
Abstract Insight into the structure and inhibition mechanism of O-beta-d-glucosidases by deoxa-pyranosylamine type inhibitors is provided by X-ray analysis of complexes between raucaffricine and strictosidine glucosidases and N-(cyclohexylmethyl)-, N-(cyclohexyl)- and N-(bromobenzyl)-beta-d-gluco-1,5-deoxa-pyranosylamine. All inhibitors anchored exclusively in the catalytic active site by competition with appropriate enzyme substrates. Thus facilitated prospective elucidation of the binding networks with residues located at <3.9 A distance will enable the development of potent inhibitors suitable for the production of valuable alkaloid glucosides, raucaffricine and strictosidine, by means of synthesis in Rauvolfia serpentina cell suspension cultures.
