Figure 6. Comparison of HA-1077 and H-1152POverlay of HA-1077 and H-1152P demonstrates the colocalization of the isoquinoline atoms with respect to the surrounding residues. Both inhibitor molecules form an H bond to the backbone amide of Val123 in the hinge region. The position of the homopiperazine rings, however, diverge by ca. 1.5 Å. Consequently, H bonds between the homopiperazine nitrogen and Glu127 and Glu170 are formed only in the PKA-1077 complex. The contact between C10 and Thr183, which prevents as a steric clash a HA-1077-like positioning of the H-1152P homopiperazine ring, is shown as a red double arrow.
