Crystal structure of human caspase-1 in complex with 4-oxo-3-[(6-{[4-(quinoxalin-2-ylamino)-benzoylamino]-methyl}-pyridine-3-carbonyl)-amino]-butyric acid
OverviewOverview
Disulfide Tethering was applied to the active site of human caspase-1, resulting in the discovery of a novel, tricyclic molecular fragment that selectively binds in S4. This fragment was developed into a class of potent inhibitors of human caspase-1. Several key analogues determined the optimal distance of the tricycle from the catalytic residues, the relative importance of various features of the tricycle, and the importance of the linker.
