THE COMPLEX BETWEEN HUMAN CARBONIC ANHYDRASE II AND THE AROMATIC INHIBITOR 1,2,4-TRIAZOLE
OverviewOverview
The X-ray crystal structure of the complex between human carbonic, anhydrase II and the inhibitor 1,2,4-triazole has been refined at 1.9 A, resolution to a final R-factor of 0.153. Triazole is an analogue of the, competitive inhibitor imidazole, but the crystal structure shows a, different type of binding to the enzyme. 1,2,4-Triazole is directly bound, to the zinc(II) ion through the nitrogen in position 4, replacing the, native water/hydroxyl (Wat263) in a distorted four-co-ordinated complex., The interaction of the inhibitor with the active site is completed by two, hydrogen bonds to O gamma of Thr200 and to the amide nitrogen atom of, Thr199 through the two adjacent N-1 and N-2 atoms. The binding site of, triazole overlaps the proposed binding sites for the substrates, explaining the observed competitive behaviour of the inhibitor towards, CO2/HCO3- under equilibrium conditions.
