Crystal structure of the complex between MMP-8 and a N-hydroxyurea inhibitor
Overview
The first crystallographic structure of an N-hydroxyurea inhibitor bound into the active site of a matrix metalloproteinase is reported. The ligand and three other analogues were prepared and studied as inhibitors of MMP-2, MMP-3, and MMP-8. The crystal structure of the complex with MMP-8 shows that the N-hydroxyurea, contrary to the analogous hydroxamate, binds the catalytic zinc ion in a monodentate rather than bidentate mode and with high out-of-plane distortion of the amide bonds.
