OverviewOverview

Both D- and L-isomers of N-(hydroxyaminocarbonyl)phenylalanine () were, shown to have strong binding affinity towards carboxypeptidase A (CPA), with D- being more potent than its enantiomer by 3-fold (Chung, S. J.;, Kim, D. H. Bioorg. Med. Chem. 2001, 9, 185.). In order to understand the, reversed stereochemical preference shown in the CPA inhibition, we have, solved the crystal structures of CPA complexed with each enantiometer of, up to 1.75 A resolution. Inhibitor L- whose stereochemistry belongs to the, stereochemical series of substrate binds CPA like substrate does with its, carbonyl oxygen coordinating to the active site zinc ion. Its hydroxyl is, engaged in hydrogen bonding with the carboxylate of Glu-270. On the other, hand, in binding of D- to CPA, its terminal hydroxyl group is ... [(full description)]
