High Resolution Crystal Structure Analysis Of Cruzain non-covalently Bound To A Hydroxymethyl Ketone Inhibitor (I)
OverviewOverview
The crystal structures of two hydroxymethyl ketone inhibitors complexed to the cysteine protease cruzain have been determined at 1.1 and 1.2 A resolution, respectively. These high resolution crystal structures provide the first structures of non-covalent inhibitors bound to cruzain. A series of compounds were prepared and tested based upon the structures providing further insight into the key binding interactions.
