STRUCTURE OF ACETYLCHOLINESTERASE COMPLEX WITH (+)-HUPERZINE A AT 2.1A RESOLUTION
|
OverviewOverview
Kinetic and structural data are presented on the interaction with Torpedo, californica acetylcholinesterase (TcAChE) of (+)-huperzine A, a synthetic, enantiomer of the anti-Alzheimer drug, (-)-huperzine A, and of its natural, homologue (-)-huperzine B. (+)-Huperzine A and (-)-huperzine B bind to the, enzyme with dissociation constants of 4.30 and 0.33 microM, respectively, compared to 0.18 microM for (-)-huperzine A. The X-ray structures of the, complexes of (+)-huperzine A and (-)-huperzine B with TcAChE were, determined to 2.1 and 2.35 A resolution, respectively, and compared to the, previously determined structure of the (-)-huperzine A complex. All three, interact with the "anionic" subsite of the active site, primarily through, pi-pi stacking and through van der Waals or C-H.pi ... [(full description)]
