2g94
From Proteopedia
Crystal structure of beta-secretase bound to a potent and highly selective inhibitor.
Overview
Structure-based design, synthesis, and X-ray structure of protein-ligand complexes of memapsin 2 are described. The inhibitors are designed specifically to interact with S2- and S3-active site residues to provide selectivity over memapsin 1 and cathepsin D. Inhibitor 6 has exhibited exceedingly potent inhibitory activity against memapsin 2 and selectivity over memapsin 1 (>3800-fold) and cathepsin D (>2500-fold). A protein-ligand crystal structure revealed cooperative interactions in the S2- and S3-active sites of memapsin 2. These interactions may serve as an important guide to design selectivity over memapsin 1 and cathepsin D.
