The anti-Alzheimer's drug E2020 (marketed as Aricept®) is an inhibitor that binds acetylcholinesterase (AChE) with high affinity. The X-ray structure of the E2020-AChE (AChE from Torpedo california) complex shows that E2020 has a along the active-site gorge, extending from the anionic subsite () of the active site, at the bottom, to the peripheral anionic site (), at the top, via aromatic stacking interactions with conserved aromatic acid residues. E2020 does not, however, interact directly with either the catalytic triad or the 'oxyanion hole' but only . Read more...

These resources may help you familiarize yourself with the editing process. Trust us, the editing process is very simple: All text is edited the same way that Wikipedia is edited, so it must be easy! And all scenes (green links) are created using our user-friendly Scene authoring tools. Of course it helps to familiarize yourself with the site and how to go about editing, so check out these resources:

• The Proteopedia Video Guide is a narrated video guide that serves both as a starting point as well as a reference.
• The Editing Help Page.
• The help page for the Scene authoring tools.
• Proteopedia:Policies and the Proteopedia: Email list

• A resource for understanding protein 3D structure-function relationships
  • Example: 1wsu - C-terminal domain of elongation factor selB complexed with SECIS RNA, featured in the Molecule of the Month at the PDB
• A resource for communicating protein 3D structure-function relationships to others.

• Develop tutorials or molecular scenes to project during lectures
• Assign students to construct pages in Proteopedia for class projects or reports
